Summary: Miz Mozetta is something alright. She is a lady who loves music and loves to dance! She loves jazz in particular. One day her and her friends went out dancing. They danced the night away until she had holes in her shoes.
I would use this book along with an English lesson on dialogue. This book is all dialogue between Mizz Mozetta and her friends. I would also have students act out the parts and talk just like her. That would be great to explain how dialogue works.
