Summary

The Dance of the Meerkats explores the relationship between a father and his son through nightly bedtime stories that reflect on the lessons and adventures of two young meerkats within their community. During these conversations the man and the boy share what they have experienced each day and the stories reinforce good behaviour in dealing with change and in being part of a community. After each part of the story the father asks the son for his opinion and here you can see what your own child thinks about the story so far, and compare that to the thoughts of the boy in the book. Reading a bedtime story with a child is an opportunity for sharing and for learning, as well a time of fun.
