This dazzling introduction to dance features an entry for every
letter of the alphabet, including a pronunciation guide and an
accessible, informative definition. For instance, I is for
Improvisation (im-pro-vi-ZAY-shun): making up the steps as one
dances, and O is for Ouvert (oo-VAIR): a French word that refers
to an open position of the feet in ballet. "Charming
illustrations in mixed-media collage include scraps of written
text, music and wallpaper integrated into depictions of dancing
children...it will serve well as a first look at dance for
preschoolers." --Kirkus Reviews "This clever children's book
manages to excite children about the art of dance with colorful,
kid-friendly illustrations and simple descriptions." --GRAND
magazine Dictionary of Dance, A by Harriet Ziefert with
illustrations by Liz Murphy
