Ballet Cat: Dance! Dance! Underpants!

(2) K-3 Dance diva Ballet Cat (The Totally Secret Secret) returns, again paired with a reluctant partner/friend. Ballet Cat gamely accommodates her pal's concerns...at first. When Butter Bear resorts to stalling tactics, normally sunny Ballet Cat cracks. The characters' pas de deux is choreographed on solid-color backgrounds with a minimum of props, giving new readers a leg up on the energetic and funny speech-bubble text.
