Bird, Betsy and Illustrated by Dorman, Brandon Giant Dance Party 32 pgs. Greenwillow Books, 2013. $13.61.  Content: Language: G (0 swears); Mature Content: G ;  Violence: G.
Lexy love’s to dance, but gets stage fright, so she quits dance classes. Then she realizes that teaching dance might be a great solution –that way she doesn't have to be on stage. When giants show up for her free lesson’s –Lexy doesn't think that she or them are up for the challenge. But they are wonderful! When the whole lot of em get stage fright –what’s a good dance teacher to do?
I really like this book! Its go big beautiful illustrations –perfect for storytime. The lessons here are really sweet –about overcoming fear, taking a chance, and not giving up. I think students will love the adorable giant’s and I can think of about 40 students who will fight over this because it’s about dancing.
