Story Title: Rap A Tap Tap Here's Bojangles Think of That
Authors and Illustrators: Leo and Diane Dillon
Genre: Biographies
Characters: Bill "Bojangles" Robinson
Summary: The authors presented the story of Bojangles as he tapped dance across the city streets in his tuxedo, top hat, and cane. He made the crowds smile as he entertained them with his quick and fancy high stepping leg work.
Comments: You can almost see his legs moving as you look at the illustrations. The text with words in rimes will have you and the children chanting the lines and repeating the "rap a tap tap" phrase. The biography is incomplete and provides us with a very small part of this man's life. The illustrations do a good job of informing us how important dancing was to Bojangles and how he enjoyed using his art to please people. Children will enjoy listening and reading this book. It is recommended for children 3 to 8.
