There’s nothing the young narrator of this book likes more than dancing at ballet school and her little dog loves it just as much.
When their teacher announces that the Christmas show will be The Nutcracker, Biff the dancing dog’s tail starts to wag. He wants the fluffy tutu, the twinkly tiara, he wants to be the Sugar Plum Fairy!
Instead, the two are cast as bonbons. Disappointment overcome, they decide to dance like no bonbons have ever danced before! Their Sherbet Shuffle, Lollipop Bop and Jellybean Jive bring the house down and we readers have front row seats.
The story is as sweet and delicious as a box of chocolates and everyone’s feet will be tapping as the two stars hit the boards, so energetic and nimble.
Irresistible festive fun from the team that brought you beloved bestseller Dogs Don't Do Ballet!
