This book is a great story to teach kids about feeling confident in themselves. It is also a wonderful story to introduce kids to different types of dances: waltz, tango, ramba, cha cha, scottish jig, etc. I'm a music teacher and I teach this to my 3rd graders. We discuss what each dance looks like, then the kind of music that might acccompany the dance. The class breaks up into groups and we read it again - but this time, after I say "The monkeys danced the cha cha...", the monkey group plays their instruments and dances the cha cha (and the same with the elephants, worthogs, etc) It can be done w/ several kids, or even just your own child. It is a really enjoyable book!
