Review by School Library Journal Review
PreS-Starting with a variety of sounds from the "chukka" of a maraca to the "ping a ling" of a ukulele, Lickens gradually draws readers into the beat until they "got that boogaloo." The book uses onomatopoeia, interior rhymes, and alliteration, and children will be eager to join the brightly hued crew of fluid-limbed musicians that include a tiger, anteater, bat, and squirrel. The cheerful admonition-"don't you dare sit still"-will be a hit at toddler storytimes to begin a movement activity or to integrate with a rhythm band.-Gay Lynn Van Vleck, Henrico County Library, Glen Allen, VA (c) Copyright 2014.
