Barefoot Books Review – The Animal Boogie

Animal Boogie is now famous, maybe even infamous as a bestseller at independent publishers Barefoot Books.

So what makes The Animal Boogie so popular?

It’s so addictive!

Even as I write this I can hear myself humming the tune and tapping my foot. It’s an instant addictive hit!

It’s so much fun for the family

Barefoot recommends this book for children ages 3-7. That’s not true. My daughter had this when she was 2 and she still loves it at 6 ½. On top of that, 3 generations have been doing the ‘boogie, oogie, woogie’, including a great-grandmother in her 70s!

However, keep in mind that once played, it will stay with you for a long time. Get ready to play it in the car on long drives to pass the time. It certainly beats the arguments and eventual boredom of I see, I see. The kilometers fly by.

Ideal for parties and groups.

Whether you’re planning a party or involved in a group or daycare, Animal Boogie is the perfect material. It has a musical score for the brave ones on the back and everyone can get involved by doing their own actions for each animal. Kick like an elephant and slither like a snake using whatever body part you want.

If you have a group that has instruments, you can also take them out or make your own. Once again, an added bonus for this interactive chant

Colorful, vibrant and all inclusive.

The book is filled with full color illustrations that are bright and beautiful. Each animal is accompanied by a different child. Each child is from a different ethnic background or culture. The editors have really thought about this and there is also a girl in a wheelchair. You can really dance and have fun whatever your race, creed or physical situation. There is something for everyone.

The Animal Boogie is truly one of the funniest books I have come across. No one is left out and everyone can join in with their own brand of boogie.
