Daddy receives an invitation to a fancy party. He has a black tie, but he's having trouble deciding which shoes to wear with his dress-up clothes. Daddy uses a variety of dances to help him determine what color shoes are best to wear to the party. He gets out his blue shoes and tries the Patty Cake Polka. That doesn't work. He puts on his yellow shoes and does the Chicken Dance. His shoes fall off. He tries red shoes and attempts the Mexican Hat Dance, and still, it's just not quite right. What shoes will daddy wear to the dance? A picture book for children, Dancing Daddy offers a whimsical story to help children learn their colors, practice counting, become familiar with a variety of dances, and apply problem-solving techniques.
