Jump right in! by Kim Taylor (Boston, MA USA) 5 Stars
September 30, 2000
This is a must have book for anyone who loves or works with children. Not only are the stories usable within an existing curriculum or creative dance class framework, the book enables all educators to use Ms. Landolf's sequencing to create a movement story of his or her own. I have been using this approach within my own creative movement class (Story in a Box) for two years with great success.Thank you Helen!Kim

great book to tap into the imagination of young children! by Betsy MURPHY (Ocean City, NJ USA) 5 Stars
February 02, 1998
A great book for introducing children to basic movement concepts using imagination and stories. The stories are well written, humorous, and allow children to become immersed in a world of playful and fun movements. Landalf and Gerke's introduction, about 16 pages, covers just about everything a good creative movement teacher needs to know about understanding how to teach movement concepts to young children.
