This is a really cute book!
First off, it's an alphabet book -- Lots of different animals from A-Z doing many different dances (almost all from A-Z)!
At the end are instructions for finding musical instruments (26 in all) hidden on each page throughout the book, but I must warn you, it's not as easy as you may think to locate these instruments. The illustrator has worked very hard to incorporate these items into the pictures so they look like they belong!

Lots of fun! Rhyming text, with 26 different "dancers" (various animals, including quite a "unique" one ;) doing 26 different (and quite matching) dances. There are also instruments hidden (quite well!) throughout - I only found about half on my first look-through.
Fun ABC book with dancing animals--particularly enjoyed the belly-dancing elephants. The "hidden pictures" part was a little tricky for N., but slightly older children would probably find them with no trouble.
Everyone from the Alpacas to the Zebras dances at the Blackpool Ballroom Bonanza. Everyone is surprised that nothing is broken when the rhinos rhumba. Fun rhymes and detailed illustrations (bellydancing elephants have belly jewels and nail polish) are entertaining and there's the added bonus of scanning each page to find the 26 instruments the monkeys have hidden. Visual jokes such as a go-going goat dressed like Austin Powers will amuse the adults, too.
An alphabet book that features a sequined bra wearing elephant on the cover. Animals in dancing with the stars costumes, I love it!
