I hope everyone had a wonderful holiday! We are just weeks away from the debut of Dear Baby, Let’s Dance! and I can’t wait to share this book with everyone. It is a great read-aloud and kids love to get in on the action showing all their dance moves. For some reason they think the Grandma and Grandpa spread is really funny. Go figure. I read the book to Ms. Mandy Newport’s first grade class at River Eve’s Elementary School in Roswell GA and the kids were so fun. They were up on their feet and dancing. When I finished one little boy asked, “What else you got?!!”
I loved how Ms. Newport disciplined the kids. She took care to find a child who was following directions and would say, “I like how John is sitting quietly with his back pack ready to go.” “I see Julie is sitting in her seat and raising her hand to ask a question.”
It was such a smart tactic and effective. It had the kids vying for her attention with positive behavior. I am currently scheduling author visits in Atlanta, Birmingham AL, Chattanooga, TN and Chicago so if you are interested in booking a visit, email me at carolcasey@dearbabybooks.com. I don’t want to be immodest but my author visits now come with a magic wand that makes that tinkly happy sound. : ) I got it for Christmas from my daughter.
