Hokey pokey by Ed Allen
Scholastic, 2014. ISBN 9781742836454.
'Aussie edition' Hokey pokey brings a collection of Aussie
animals together to sing the traditional song 'The hokey pokey'. Get
your child up and dancing with the actions and singing along with
the lyrics. Have them investigate the different images, full of
bright colours and Australian animals doing their own actions. There
is so much going on in this book that your child won't know where to
start and an accompanying CD sung by child entertainer, Colin
Buchanan, is an added bonus. Highly recommended for all young
readers. It would also be great in the classroom where teachers
could use it as a 'brain break' as younger children learn the names
of body parts and learn to follow actions.
