The Bow-Wow Ballet

By Gabby Dawnay and Jennifer Mae Spooner

The dogs of the Bow--Wow Ballet are ready to put on a show. Otilly Sausage does tricks with a ball, and Maximus Jeté jumps ever so high. But there's only so much room onstage for a troupe of dogs who all want the spotlight. In this endearing and whimsical rhyming book, Gabby Dawnay and Jennifer Mae Spooner bring the show to life!

The Bow--Wow Ballet combines a love of adorable dogs and the theater in one creatively chaotic story about a troupe of canine ballet dancers who are getting ready for their debut performance.

With exquisite comic timing, an endearing cast of relatable characters, and a rhythmical, rhyming text that is fun to read aloud, The Bow--Wow Ballet is a heartwarming celebration of dogs, theater, and teamwork. Perfect for fans of Hairy Maclary and dog lovers of all ages!
