Barnyard Dance! (Boynton on Board) Review
User Submitted Barnyard Dance! (Boynton on Board) ReviewsJune 5, 2010 Review: Barnyard Dance (Sandra Boynton) If you like Boynton books, you'll love Barnyard Dance. There's lots of action & movement, silliness & fun, and of course rhymes and animals. Our 21-month-old loves it because it moves right along and he can dance to the rhythm of the lyrical text. I highly recommend it!Barnyard Dance! May 30, 2010 Of course I will read you another book!!! Fun, catchy, colorful, rhyming book makes Nana want to read it over and over again to her little sweeties!! Nice size, durable, and right length. Author's many books are totally worth it as she has a knack for making a quick book very fun and sassy!! And since Nana is a farm girl, it is a legacy to pass along to her future generation! May 17, 2010 SSSSS - Super Simple Silly Smile- inducing Sunny andra Boynton, the author and the illustrator of this amusing book, portrays goofy-looking farm animals, square dancing with a lot of bowing and twirling. Throw in rhymes like, Bounce with the bunny, Strut with the duck Spin with the chickens now CLUCK CLUCK CLUCK! Whats not to like in a book like this?! This book is super hit at home turf and has been successfully holding its position as `one of the favorites' for the past two years! Even the musically-challenged-me can make a decent song out of the catchy rhyming verses. Now I know the content by heart and when ever I start off `Stomp your feet, clap your hands, every body get ready for a barn yard dance....' my children start bouncing with uncontainable glee! Sandra Boynton brings out a mood of merriment with not just the rhymes but also with her illustrations. Plump hens dancing with eyes closed in total involvement, horses and donkeys slow dancing, the little chicks running around with confused expressions on their faces - all illustrated in simple cheerful line drawings. May 12, 2010 Fun, get up and move book! "Stomp your feet! Clap your hands! Everybody ready for a barnyard dance?" The bouncy rhythm of Sandra Boynton's Barnyard Dance is nearly impossible to read without dancing right along with it! T discovered clapping this weekend, which is an amusement in itself, but it prompted me to fish out Barnyard Dance from our board book bin in the living room. B loved listening to this one as an infant too, I think especially because I couldn't help bouncing him in my lap and acting out some of the movements with his little hands. The book is not so much a story as a narration of a silly square dance caller in a barnyard full of animals where pigs twirl, ducks strut, and everybody promenades! All the action in Barnyard Dance lends itself to great physical development for your little one! Infants will love the rhythm, and by six months or so will likely bounce along on their own. "Helping" them with the movements as I did with T's hands (and B's before him) may help children learn about their muscle movements and the control of their limbs. Toddlers and preschoolers can practice both large muscle coordination and language processing if you read the book as directions for them to follow and complete the dance for you. Also reviewed at LittleSproutBooks December 14, 2009 A kid favorite This book has cute illustrations and the dance "lyrics" are fun and well-written. This is one of my children's favorites and I think any child in the 1-4 range would love to have this book. For more Barnyard Dance! (Boynton on Board) reviews click here.
