Disco Dave

Dave the walrus adores disco. The booming bass drums and blasting brass horns. The glittery globes and shiny shirts. And especially the dances!

He loves The Bump. The Funky Chicken. Even The Robot! Far out! He cant wait to groove all night long!

But when Dave actually hits the dance floor . . . catastrophe! Crashes, slips, and all the wrong types of booms. Dave doesnt want to give up though-disco is in his soul! He refuses to let it die! He practices and practices . . . but maybe flippers and tusks just arent made for disco. His friends try to break it to him gently. Maybe hed be better at the waltz? Hes almost ready to give up his bell bottoms and platform shoes and call it quits when something sends the disco community into an uproar. Maybe theres another way for Dave to find the funk?

Included is a readers note for adults on talking to children about resilience, self-expression, and adaptability in the face of challenges. Sometimes things dont work out exactly the way we hoped . . . but sometimes thats even better!
