"Craig and Brown are again in playful sync in this rhythmic companion to Dancing Feet!. Reviving the cut-paper collage style he debuted in that book, Brown demonstrates that he's mastered the medium. . . . Although all the animals . . . eventually "fall in a heap! Asleep!" the emphasis rests squarely on the joy of exuberant, slightly mischievous dancing."--Publishers Weekly

"The jazzed-up animals are shaped with textured cut-out pieces that form the assemblage, which pops against the black-and-purple striped backgrounds. . . . They definitely have child appeal. . . . It won't take but one or two readings before kids join right in with the syncopated fun."--Kirkus Reviews
