A Disco-Loving Walrus Learns That There's More Than One Way to Shine
Dave the walrus loves everything about disco: the sparkling lights, the booming beats, and all the funky dance moves he's eager to try. But when he finally gets his moment on the dance floor, things do not go well. Crashes, slips, and every kind of tumble leave Dave feeling discouraged and unsure if he will ever keep up with the groove he loves so much.
Just when he is ready to hang up his bell bottoms and platform shoes for good, something unexpected sends the entire disco community into an uproar. Dave realizes there may be another way to join the fun, one that fits him perfectly. This upbeat and humorous story helps children explore problem solving, confidence, and finding creative ways to participate when things don't go as planned.
