What Daddy could refuse those adoring eyes, that mischievous smile, and the irresistible request, "Dance with me, Daddy!" Told with energy and fun by songwriter and author Willy Welch, this story celebrates the unique bond between father and daughter as they discover the wonder of the world through a simple joyous dance.

Willy Welch is an actor, singer, songwriter, and storyteller. His first book, PLAYING RIGHT FIELD (Scholastic), is also a song recorded by over twenty different performing artists, including Peter, Paul and Mary. Many people are familiar with the story/song as a double-Clio award-winning Pizza Hut commercial!
Among Willy's eclectic writing projects have been over thirty songs for Barney (that big, purple dinosaur that every child knows and loves), and a rock-a-billy version of "The Two Gentlemen of Verona" performed by the Shakespeare Festival of Dallas. Willy lives in Dallas, Texas, with his wife and children.
PreSchool-K-The major strength of this playful book is the joyous interaction between the little girl and her father as they dance "like sillies." Their movement takes them "singing and laughing and dancing" out of the house, through the farm, across the bridge, into the forest, and back home to bed. Along the way, cows, trees, fish, deer, frogs, hedgehogs, and fireflies all get caught up in the fun. Unfortunately, the text does not always capture the swinging, swaying mood of the story. The rhymes are inconsistent and occasionally awkward. The cartoon illustrations, done in pen and ink and watercolor, are not particularly distinguished, yet the fluid outlines of the figures and the curving composition capture the feeling of dancing.
