Gr 3-5-"Let's Dance" expands children's knowledge of the history of various dance styles, and the dancers who became famous performing them. Each title follows the same formula: an introduction to the dance style, followed by its history and a spotlight on renowned dancers. The final chapter teaches readers one of the most popular dance moves from that genre. Vibrant photographs enhance the text and engage readers, while colored text boxes and background splashes make the visuals more appealing. The writing is clear, easy to follow, and thorough enough for readers who want to explore the genre. VERDICT Buy these titles where dance is popular or where replacement copies are needed.
