Kitchen Disco

What do our readers think of Kitchen Disco? (Generated from the text of reviews of the book)

Children enjoy the funny dancing fruit, colourful pictures and catchy repeated parts, and many want to join in with the movement. Some children find that a few of the rhymes sound less smooth than the rest, so the story works best when it is read with plenty of rhythm and enthusiasm.

What does the Pageticker team say about Kitchen Disco?

Kitchen Disco is a gloriously daft, high-energy picture book that turns the fruit bowl into the liveliest place in the house. Clare Foges’s bouncy rhymes and Al Murphy’s bright, busy illustrations make it excellent for expressive read-alouds, especially when the audience is encouraged to wiggle along. The rhythm can occasionally feel a little uneven, but small children who enjoy repetition, silly characters and dancing will be completely on board.
