Rock Away Granny by Dandi Daley Mackall

 

Getting dropped off at Grandma’s house could be a total snooze. Hours of sitting in the rocking chairs. But not this Grandma. Up she hops to wheel out the record player. And then, with kitty as the DJ—a dance party! The twist, the swing, the Monster Mash—they rock, rock, rock, at Granny’s house tonight.

Then right as Mom returns, everyone crashes out in the rocking chairs. Just another boring night at Grandma’s (Mom thinks). Wink!

Includes pictures of easy to follow dance steps like the side pass, cuddle, and underarm turn.

 

Rock Away Granny is a fun, entertaining read for kids. The illustrations are engaging and do a great job of supporting the text and keeping little ones interested in the story. My girls really enjoy reading this book and practising the dance steps illustrated within it before bed.

I love the special relationship between the granddaughter and her grandmother, it is the perfect book for any grandparent and grandchild duo in your life!
