Dazzlehands

The cow says ‘moo’ the chicken says ‘cluck’ and the pig says … ‘Dazzlehands!’

Cross hands, floss hands, work it like a boss hands.
Bursting with the razzle, gotta liberate these dazzlehands.

As hard as the farmer tries, pig won’t go ‘oink’.

Instead, pig gets all the animals moving to: ‘Train hands, rain hands, fly-it-like-a-plane hands. Bursting with the razzle, gotta liberate these DAZZLEHANDS!’

Written by Sacha Cotter and illustrated by Josh Morgan

Reviews

Claire Mabey, The Spinoff ~ Sacha Cotter is a genius at rhyme married with rhythm and this is where Dazzlehands comes alive.

Paula Green, Poetry Box ~ “To say it is all about PIGS and HANDS and JOY and seeing things in fresh DAZZLE LIGHTS AND it is the BEST children’s picture book I have read all year and I am DANCING on my tip toes and humming DAZZLE songs and am hoping you get a copy of DAZZLEHANDS so you can DANCE on your tip toes and hum DAZZLE songs too!”
