Good Cookin'

Dancin' In The Kitchen is a festive celebration of food, music and family. The story dances across the pages with bright, rhythmic illustrations; and even ends with the children helping grandpa do the dishes!

Dancin' in the Kitchen is a tasty treat!

Gelsanliter and Christian have created a wonderfully playful book that kids will eat up. Every time I read it to our kids, their eyes light up as the the sing-song story pulls the reader through fabulous illustrations. The artist who decorated the book has a fauvist, Matisse-like style that engergizes the written words. I anxiously await the next course!

Great book! A new favorite that always begs to be read again

This has become a new favorite in our house. Everyone loves to point out the funny goings on, giggle over them and then try to imitate the dancin' in the book. We now have the tape too! Wendy Gelsanliter has come out with a wonderful tape that includes this song as well as some renditions of other fun songs. A word of warning however: if you read this book at bedtime, be prepared for requests to "READ IT AGAIN!"
