"Did you know there was a National Tap Dance Day? I happened to check this book out the day after the day that is set apart to honor Bill "Bojangles" Robinson. I thought that was so fun. Aside from that, this book is fun because of it's short, rhythmic lines and the art work is very alive."
"Each two page spread features those that Bojangles' is dancing to on the left and his dancing on the right and underneath it all the simple rhyming text ends each spread with the repetition of "rap a tap tap - think of that!" The book includes a brief afterward explaining who Bojangles was and the influence that he had on tap dancing.
The simple gouache paintings almost look like cutouts on a white background as there is almost no variation in the blocks of color. The color choices reflect in the old school feel of the paintings and remind readers of an era past. The paintings of Bojangles' feet are cleverly done with overlaying shades of the same color giving the illustrations a sense of movement. Overall the book is well done and would work well in a storytime situation, as children could quickly learn the ending phrase of each spread and join along."
"This book follows the adventures of Bojangles as he dances his way through the city. He dances past a wide variety of people in a busy city, some who welcome him while others ignore him. But despite this, he continues to dance his way through the city, past the old, young, the poor and the rich. Each two page spread features those that Bojangles' is dancing to on the left and his dancing on the right and underneath it all the simple rhyming text ends each spread with the repetition of "rap a tap tap - think of that!" The book includes a brief afterward explaining who Bojangles was and the influence that he had on tap dancing.
As an Honor Book for the Coretta Scott King Illustrator Award in 2003 this book features lively illustrations. The simple gouache paintings almost look like cutouts on a white background as there is almost no variation in the blocks of color. The color choices reflect in the old school feel of the paintings and remind readers of an era past. The paintings of Bojangles' feet are cleverly done with overlaying shades of the same color giving the illustrations a sense of movement. Overall the book is well done and would work well in a storytime situation, as children could quickly learn the ending phrase of each spread and join along."
"Beautiful book! I read it every year to my students and show them videos of Mr. Bojangles (A&E) and the dance scenes from his 4 movies with Shirley Temple."
