Bug Dance is perfect for teaching directions to pre-K through kindergarteners. The bugs in Coach Caterpillar's gym class are learning a new dance. But Centipede can't do it! If he can't learn the directions left, right, forward, and backward, this class will be one big FLOP!

Kids will love the story and the illustrations by Christopher Santoro. Parents and educators will love how the story and pictures make understanding the math concepts a breeze—as well as the concrete examples of how math works.
