What if a dinosaur rings your doorbell when you're having a dreary day? This story begins with a somewhat odd idea. A dinosaur shows up at a woman's door, but it gets even stranger because it's a dancing dinosaur. Not bothered in the slightest by the woman's cold shoulder, the dancing dinosaur continues with his duties. Hut, two, three, four! Two, two, three, four! The dinosaur's moves not only warm the despondent woman's heart but move the readers' feet to the rhythm. "Won't you join me?" Without thinking twice, the woman stretches out her arm and lets herself go. The two lose themselves to the beat and dance without a care in the world. But where are they heading? They're off to someone else's house - someone else who's having a bad day.
This book is neither preachy nor deeply philosophical. "I heard you were feeling down". This one phrase is enough to pique one's interest, and the invigorating dancing is enough to wash away the inexplicable depression, irritation, and sense of defeat. This is an illustrated book that heals the mind of the reader.
