Reviews

""Readers will delight in seeing the friends' pets--two dogs, a cat, and a goldfish--moving along to the dance, and they'll also enjoy the clear illustrations of Davina teaching the signs so they can learn them as well. Short sentences with repeated words and two-to-five sentences per page in large text are perfect for beginning readers. Back matter includes information on American Sign Language, with directions for saying six words. This is a worthy addition to the series, which that spotlights Sikh culture. -VERDICT Recommended for all libraries, as it will prove popular with both series fans and those new to it."" --Carrie Voliva, Student Library Journal
