C'mon, man. This is just a not-nearly-as-good re-hash of Pete The Cat.

There's always room for more at a doggie disco party. Groovy fun that gave me a little Go Dog, Go nostalgia.

Groovy Joe has his guitar and his tambourine - he's ready for a dance party! He and his squirrel friend are rocking out when there's a knock on the door. Who could it be? A dog with a tuba to join the party! One more dog means less room for Joe, but he doesn't get upset because he is having way too much fun. More and more animals join the party, with guests doubling each time until there are eight dogs in the room, plus Joe. Now the party is only missing one thing - YOU! This is a fun, fast-paced story that encourages readers to do some mental math and reminds them that there is always room for one more. Joe's song can be downloaded from Scholastic so classes and families can get their groove on while reading.

My girls' loved the "Disco Party Bow Wow" song we get to sing throughout the book. A great message at the end too. My four-year-old loved to be involved in the party.

I feel like all of the Groovy Joe songs are sung to the exact same tune. This one, though, didn't even rhyme?

I like Pete the Cat, but I loved this Groovy Joe. (Makes me want to read the first one!)
My son picked this as one of his purchases at my Book Fair. I knew the rhythm of the song thanks to repeated viewings of the Book Fair preview video. My entire family rocked out to this book--a totally fun family bonding session during our nightly storytime. Both my 7-year-old son and 3-year-old daughter liked the knock-knocks and the addition. I foresee this book enjoying many encore performances with my kids.

Cute picture book with Groovy Joe, a doggy getting down to his rockin' beat. The text is repetitive, allowing younger children to anticipate what's coming next. Math is integrated every few pages, for example: "How many dogs are there now? 4 + 4 = 8" And in the end, the reader is invited to the Disco Party.
