With the text by Kelly Bennett and the illustrations by Terri Murphy, young readers get a sense of what one form of entertainment was like in recent-past rural America in the delightful little book Dance, Y'all, Dance.

The story is told in a two-step rhythm which further enhances the theme of Saturday night's entertainment—music at the local dance hall, which was probably the only venue for entertainment in the area. The illustrations, though exaggerated, capture the essence of the story—family and friends having a good time on Saturday night after a week of hard work on the farm or ranch.

The author’s notes provide information to teachers on how to use the book for classroom reading. Older parents or grandparents can read the book to their children and grandchildren and indulge in a little nostalgia, adding their own experiences of such events.
