Tonight is the Dino Dance, and Rumble can't wait to show Grandpa Longneck: STOMP! SWISH! FLAP! HOP! ROAR! But the last move is FREEZE, and every time Rumble tries... zip, zip, ZOOM! Here comes Zip. Wibble, wobble, SPLASH! A singable freeze-dance book about stopping, starting, and trying again, for every child who needs to move first and sit still second.

Level 1 · First Songs

Listen, move, and join in with a sound.

The child: Listens, moves, claps or taps, and joins in with a sound, a word or a sign when the song stops for them.

The grown-up: Sings most of it. Pauses before the word that comes back so the child can fill it in, any way they can.
