Keep Dancing, Katie

Description

I've always loved to dance but lately my dance class just isn't as fun as it used to be. The new girl Mattie can spin faster and jump higher than me. Will dancing ever be fun again

Fran Manushkin is the author of many popular picture books, including How Mama Brought the Spring; Baby, Come Out!; Latkes and Applesauce: A Hanukkah Story; and The Tushy Book. There is a real Katie Woo -- she's Fran's great-niece -- but she never gets in half the trouble of the Katie Woo in the books. Fran writes on her beloved MacBook in New York City.

Manushkin adds another entry to her popular early-reader series about Katie Woo, the little girl with a big personality. . . .As in other stories in the series, Manushkin captures struggles that will be familiar to most kids, and writing prompts and discussion questions in the back matter will likely give them plenty to consider.-- "Booklist Online"
