Synopsis

A pooch-tastic tale from bestselling author Steve Smallman packed with hilarious illustrations by Robert Starling.

Head down to the Doggy Dance Off, where all the cool dogs meet to wag their tails and stomp their feet. There's body-popping pug, Doug. Duke Doggy Doo, the punk rocker cockapoo! Eva, golden retriever and dance floor diva and . . . one mysterious masked dancer. Who is that body-popping, hand-jiving, groovy mover?

This dazzling doggy dance off has a feline twist in its tail. With its fun rhyming text and upbeat colourful illustrations, alongside a fabulous message of inclusivity, Doggy Dance Off will have readers dancing for joy. Fans of Giraffes Can't Dance by Giles Andreae, Tiger in a Tutu by Fabi Santiago, and Cindergorilla by Gareth P. Jones and Loretta Schauer, will love grooving along to Doggy Dance Off.

Reviews

Jo

Meet a range of different dogs as they show off their moves at the big doggy dance off - and find out who the mysterious dancer is.

Doggy Dance Off is my daughter's favourite book at the moment! It's funny, nicely illustrated and very fun to read. There is clever use of alliteration and rhyming pairs; we especially love 'Eva the golden retriever' and 'Duke Doggy Doo'. We also love the ending with all the cats and dogs together; my daughter likes to try to find the matching cat-dog pairs.
