Tessa's Tip-Tapping Toes

32 pp. | Scholastic/Orchard | March, 2002 | Trade ISBN 0-439-31768-1 $$16.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Marsha Gray Carrington. Talented mouse Tessa loves to sashay to the beat while, unbeknownst to her, an equally gifted cat who lives in the same house, belts out tunes. One night during a rain shower, each is inspired to indulge his or her passion, and they finally meet. The ending is a bit anticlimactic, but the comical acrylic illustrations (Tessa uses bottle caps as tap shoes) convey the book's energy.
