Dancing is for EVERYONE. Even a 450-pound alligator!
” . . . a sweet, funny celebration of inclusiveness and dedication to dance.” —Horn Book


 An alligator dancing ballet? When the reptile takes her place on the barre, Mrs. Iraina and her dancers are very surprised. But since they may be able to’t be in contact with the alligator—and she is ready to follow along—they just make a decision to name her Tanya and let her stay. (Would YOU say no to a 450-pound alligator?) Mrs. Iraina even creates a special ballet to showcase Tanya’s larger-than-life talents . . . and super-swishy tail. Then, without warning, Tanya disappears. Funny and irreverent, Dance Is for Everyone shows that, with just a bit understanding, someone can fit in—even a dancing alligator. 

“The illustrations are stylized and quirky, and the plot is engaging, with jokes that adults will appreciate peppered all over. The narrative conveys the story’s message of inclusion in a subtle manner, however the book’s title makes this vital theme abundantly clear. VERDICT A fun read-aloud and a welcome addition to medium and large collections, best shared one-on-one or in a small group setting.” —School Library Journal
