Song And Dance Man (Karen Ackerman) Once a song and dance man, Grandpa reclaims his youth and profession before the delighted eyes of his three grandchildren one afternoon.

He taps, twirls and laughs himself to tears on a thrown-together stage in his attic. Artist Stephen Gammell takes full advantage of lamplight to render Grandpa in shadow and silhouette, trivializing the concept of age and creating a feeling of intense nostalgia. Related from the point of view of the children, the text in Song and Dance Man is soft and understated, and Gammell's artistry is superb. 4-8 YO WINNER OF THE CALDECOTT MEDAL http://www.amazon.com/Song-Dance-Man-Dragonfly-Books/dp/0679819959
