What child wouldn't like to wake up to a kitchen disco! My daughter is not quite sure whether or not fruit really get up and dance in the middle of the night when she's sleeping. I can see that she's seriously considering the fact that they might after this story. I like the idea of fruit being cool - great when trying to get in those 5-a day. The rhythmic pattern with the second and the fourth line rhyming sounds like a rap. The illustrations are bright and modern and, although every page is busy, brimming with action, the text is simple and relevant.
Ideas for activities based on the book:
A perfect opportunity to get out some instruments and have a disco.
Read the story to lead into healthy eating - identify the different fruit.
Make some fruit faces.
Have a fruit disco - eat some fruit and play some music.
Get active - dance like a banana, dance like a lemon, dance like a grape.
