      Eric Litwin has done it again. From the opening chords of this audiobook, young listeners will be grooving along with author, narrator, and composer Litwin as he tells the story of the new dog on the block, Joe, who is about to dig in to his doggy ice cream. But wait? Is that a dinosaur on the scene? How will Joe handle the situation? Listeners will jiggle, bounce, snap, and dance along as Joe rises to the occasion. Litwin is a young-listener favorite. His improbably situations, zany lyrics, and expressive voice full of pregnant pauses and exuberant refrains delight youngsters. Enjoying the illustrations in the book can only add to the experience. The production concludes with the complete "Groovy Dance" soundtrack, which begs for participation! A.R. Winner of AudioFile Earphones Award © AudioFile 2016, Portland, Maine

      The opening tuneful measures set the beat as author Eric Litwin narrates his second audiobook about Groovy Joe--the "song-singing, tail-wagging party of one!" But this dog is not alone for long. With each new knock at the door, Litwin's precise and enthusiastic voice welcomes guests to Joe's disco party. Each knock, knock foretells the number of guests at the door and begs for a response from the youthful listener. As additional dogs with musical instruments arrive, the party rocks on. Another repeated call and response wonders if Joe is getting upset by the growing crowd. Litwin fans will recognize the animated "Goodness, no!" audience response. Listeners will be eager to discover who Joe's final guest will be. A.R. © AudioFile 2019, Portland, Maine

      First-time collaborators Litwin (Pete the Cat: I Love My White Shoes) and Lichtenheld (Friendshape) inject raucous rhymes and humor into their lesson about sharing: it’s the sugar that helps the medicine go down. Groovy Joe is a laid-back dog with golden fur. When readers first see him, he’s strumming his guitar, serenading a bird. A delicious treat arrives (“Groovy Joe was living the dream/ He had a spoon and a tub of doggy ice cream”), but before he can dig in, a little dinosaur stomps in: “He put on a bib! He pulled up a chair. What did Joe say? ‘It’s awesome to share!’ ” Two larger dinosaurs appear in succession, but Joe’s ready to share with them all. Not even the end of the ice cream stops the fun. This celebration of sharing has everything: an ice cream–themed refrain for kids to shout out, big stomping dinosaurs who can also cut a rug, and a lovable furry dog. A free reading/singing of the story is available online, offering fodder for boisterous readalouds at libraries, daycare, or school. Ages 3–5. Agent: Amy Rennert, Amy Rennert Agency.
