"There once was a man who danced in the street / He brought pleasure and joy to the people he'd greet / He didn't just dance, he made art with his feet / Rap a tap tap--think of that!"
This simple book for young children has the added bonus of describing the life of a ground-breaking African-American tap dancer. Bill "Bojangles" Robinson was one of the most popular entertainers of the 1920s-30s. People said he "talked with his feet," and in the Dillons' graceful paintings of old New York, he dances from page to page to the tune of a toe-tapping rhyme. Rap a tap tap--think of that!

Rap a tap tap
A man tap-dances his way through the streets, passing open and closed doors, through fancy neighborhoods and “the skids.†The man is Bill "Bojangles" Robinson, one of the most famous tap dancers of all time. All different kinds of people love to watch Bojangles dance. His flying feet made him famous.
The illustrations add a layer of symbolism to the infectious rhythm of the text. When Bojangles is dancing in the streets, passersby are African American; when he becomes famous, the audience is primarily white. Vibrant colors develop a lively setting, even as the plight of the poor during the Depression era is depicted throughout the story.The jaunty rhyming text keeps the tone of the book light while introducing young students to the life of the ground-breaking African American tap dancer.
