Children's Literature - Marilyn Courtot

The bold illustrations feature an attractive young girl and her baby brother, who is watching and imitating from his playpen. She jumps, twists, shakes and rolls and spins around in time to the music coming from the radio. It's a nice addition to collections that need board books featuring African Americans or for anyone interested in broadening children's view of society. The series consists of I Smell Honey, Pretty Brown Face, Shake Shake Shake, and Watch Me Dance.
