Description
The Roadman Boogie is a delightful and true story of a bored Roadman who found a way to entertain himself with dance on a wet and blustery day. The Roadman has some great dance moves and his happiness and enthusiasm is infectious as he jumps around listening to the various beats blaring from car to car. Children will be enthralled as they see him dancing the rhumba and salsa, wiggling his bottom to a tune, and finding a way to keep drivers happy in a soggy situation. The gorgeous rhyming text is also a joy to read!
