While Joseph is still a young boy living "in a poor village by the Baltic Sea," he sees "that all around him the world dance." One day, at the shore, he is approached by an old man who dances toward him and tells him, "I'm the Dancing Man and I have a gift for you." After he disappears, Joseph sees that he has left him a pair of silver shoes. When Joseph is old enough for the shoes to fit him, he goes dancing from village to village, bringing joy and laughter and relief from pain. Even though people want him to stay, he never does. He is rather like the Elijah of Jewish folklore, who never stays in one place for very long. Finally, when Joseph is very old, he sees a young boy by the shore; the story will continue with him.
Although there is nothing obviously Jewish about the story or the pictures, the people in the small villages that Joseph travels to are dressed in shtetl-ish clothing.

Little Gorilla is a favorite of mine. In this short story by Ruth Bornstein, we enter into the beloved life of "Little Gorilla." This book is a great way for young children to see how going through changes does not mean that you will be any less loved. "Little Gorilla" is loved by many members of his community, ranging from a hippo to a big boa-constrictor and more. This also shows the reader that other members in your community, even if they are completely different than you, can develop a loving and caring relationship for you that you can depend on. Overall, this is a sweet and simple story about Little Gorilla's birthday and how his community supports him as he grows up.… (mais)

This book could be a difficult book for a student to read at first but I really enjoyed the different things it discussed. It focused on different ways to create art and I think that can get a students creativity going. It talks a lot about colors also. This is a cute book with nice illustrations!
