Chicken Dance by Tammi Sauer
Adorable with many, many, many interesting features. The story itself isn't that unique or new, but the way that it is told is... moving text, changes in font size, text and thought bubbles, layered images, varying perspective views, plays on words, and text-to-text connections. I can imagine reading this book with a child, laughing all the way through it! The end pages even include models of instruction for several dances (represented by chicken "foot prints" of course).
This sounds like it would be a good interactive book, especially for kids who have a hard time paying attention. It also sounds like it would be a great book to do a variety of mini-lessons.
