Disco Dog Rides Again! Groovy Joe Dance Party Countdown by Eric Litwin and Tom Lichtenheld

GROOVY JOE IS TOTALLY FUN.
HE'S A TAIL-WAGGING, SONG-SINGING PARTY OF ONE!

But alone is no fun, so Groovy Joe gets busy making disco dancin' music with tambourine and guitar. And soon someone answers the call:

KNOCK KNOCK!
"WHO'S THERE?"
"ONE!"
"ONE WHO?"
"TUBA DOG--TO DISCO WITH YOU!"

What else does a dancin', guitar-strummin' dog need? Well, what does every rock 'n' rollin' song need?

MORE COWBELL!

And there's a percussion-lovin' mouse with sticks and cowbell to drive the band. And it's not long before Club Joe's Groove is jumpin' with dancers. And the count grows from just Joe to quite a crowd. Is there room in the dive for all this jive? The count goes up as Joe keeps on singin'!

"DISCO PARTY BOW WOW!"

There's always room for one more at Joe's Disco in Eric Litwin's Groovy Joe: Dance Party Countdown (Groovy Joe 2) (Orchard Books, 2017). The initial co-creator of Pete the Cat, Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes, Eric Litwin offers the rhymes and rhythms for another party with that dancin' dog, Groovy Joe, adding a little lesson in counting down and up and small lesson in naming musical instruments as well. Noted artist Tom Lichtenheld provides the wiggle and the jiggle in his bright and busy illustrations, in this salute to how to be a gracious host--and how to count--with a downloadable song to get everyone to join the party and sing and swing along.
