New Ballet Cat Books from the author Bob Shea + Giveaway!

I received these items for review from Disney-Hyperion, all opinions are my own.

Leah is getting so big and is now in 2nd grade and reading! Sometimes she has a hard time finding books that really pique her interest. She likes to read but doesn’t love to read. I was sent the new Ballet Cat Books “Dance! Dance! Underpants and The Totally Secret Secret books by Bob Shea and of course the cute stuffed animal Ballet Cat!

My girls instantly fell in love with these books! Leah wanted to read them on her own and then to her little sister Charlotte. These books are both super cute and funny! My girls have read them probably 10 times already! Leah loves that she can read this book on her own and it is so funny. Their favorite of the 2 was Dance! Dance! Underpants it’s so silly and the illustrations are adorable. Kids of all ages would really love these books. Leah is 7 and Charlotte 4 and they both really liked them!

“The Totally Secret Secret

Ballet Cat and Sparkles the Pony are trying to decide what to play today. Nothing that Sparkles suggests–making crafts, playing checkers, and selling lemonade–goes well with the leaping, spinning, and twirling that Ballet Cat likes to do. When Sparkles’s leaps, spins, and twirls seem halfhearted, Ballet Cat asks him what’s wrong. Sparkles doesn’t want to say. He has a secret that Ballet Cat won’t want to hear. What Sparkles doesn’t know is that Ballet Cat has a secret of her own, a totally secret secret. Once their secrets are shared, will their friendship end, or be stronger than ever?

Dance! Dance! Underpants!

Ballet Cat is getting her friend Butter Bear ready for her big ballet debut. “Leap, Butter Bear, leap!” Ballet Cat prompts. But Butter Bear would prefer to just point her toe. When Ballet Cat keeps pushing, Butter Bear gets hungry, then thirsty, then sleepy . . . The bottom line is that Butter Bear would rather do almost anything to avoid making a big leap. Why? Because her bottom is covered in silly underpants! This second entry in the Ballet Cat series will have beginning readers rolling on the floor with laughter.
