In this poetic exploration of longitude and weather, with bright and detailed paintings of seventeen different places, Marilyn Singer and Frane Lessac show us what's happening from the poles to the equator-- all on the same day in...

She's never taken tap before, so she'll be a beginning beginner. And she's right--tap class is not much fun. Plus there's a girl her same age who's maddeningly good at tap dancing.
