Song and Dance Man

Three children visit their grandfather and have a wonderful time as he reminisces about his performances on stage. He tells stories of when he was a vaudeville song and dance man, when people did not sit in front of the television for hours. He leads the children to the attic, and finds his old bowler hat, gold-tipped cane, and tap shoes. He performs, telling jokes, dancing and singing, making the children laugh.

Song and Dance Man was published to very strong reviews. The New York Times Book Review called it " a charming, lighthearted and entertaining book",^[2] The Everyday Magazine described it as "a wonderfully nostalgic picture book",^[3] The video version of Song and Dance Man was reviewed positively by the School Library Journal as a very good addition to both school and public library collections.^[4]
