A sparkly story of animals (and a sad usher) who use some "borrowed" bling to get into a show. Not the most ideal message about borrowing vs stealing. Lovely watercolor illustrations.

I read this too my friends grandson and he giggled through the whole book. He had me read it three times.

Hardcover is so cute! Love the illustrations and artwork.

The story is short and sweet. I like in the end how they come together and share the magic with each other. My little brother liked it a lot!

Sparkles, No Sparkles is a picture book for young children. Animals want to go to a show, but have no sparkles to wear. The story tells how they get their sparkles. The illustrations are very colorful. The story might need to explained to small children since they may not know about going to a live show, story seemed a little disjointed at times.
