PS
Many skin tones, body types, and dance styles boogie through this warm, funny book. Amidst the joyful movin' and groovin', one child answers the titular query with "I don't." Friendly direct-address text suggests how to, reasons to, and locations where to dance, but the protagonist still declines. Loose, dynamic illustrations make excellent use of white space as well as action-packed full-bleed spreads. When the circumstances are right...the protagonist does finally bust a move.
