Why is it that when a baby is in our arms we quite instinctively begin to rock them back and forth, especially to music? This book demonstrates the multiple ways in which your infant thrives while being held in dance--the most appropriate infant-caregiver play based on evolutionary necessities--and perhaps the only universal expression of play there is.
