Join the February Read & Romp Roundup!


Happy Valentine's Day! I thought today would be as good a day as any to put out my call for submissions for the February Read & Romp Roundup. If you love picture books, children's poetry, dance, or the simple joys of moving, then you might want to contribute to this month's roundup. And if you love any or all of those things, you can also be my valentine!

If you have a recent (or even not so recent) blog post that involves picture books or children's poetry AND dance, yoga, or another form of movement, leave your link in a comment on this post. I'll round up all the links and post about them together on my blog early next month.

Book reviews, poems, lesson plans, author or illustrator interviews, ideas for dance or yoga classes, and any other creative thoughts you have about combining children's literature and movement for little ones are welcome. And feel free to let other bloggers know about the roundup. Last month's roundup was a great success, and I'm really looking forward to seeing this month's posts!

Submissions are open until Wednesday, February 29, 2012.

    I loved the book, as did my students.
