Off We Go!

Unknown
I was excited to stumble upon this book at the library, Jane Yolen's 2000 picture book Off We Go!. Off We Go! will quickly become a well-used book in preschool, kindergarten, and 1st grade dance classes. 

Like Steve Jenkins's book Move!, Off We Go! is a super easy and accessible book for movement inspiration. The various animals in the book tiptoe, hop, dig, and slither. Laurel Molk's illustrations evoke a calm and joyful energy. 

Dance teachers can use the text as inspiration for an improvisational activity, or teachers can easily create a dance based on the text.

Young dancers always love animal inspiration. Students will love exploring the movement of spiders, ducks, snakes, and mice.

Off we go!
