I really wanted to like this book more than I did. First off, it was too long and too wordy. Lulu is a dog (probably a pug) and when she sees her owners dancing, she wants to dance too. However, the dance instructor thinks this is not possible. So Lulu sneaks off to a dog dancing academy to make her dreams come true. Overall, the story is cute, but not one I would sit down to read frequently. ( )

It was a good read. ( )

DANG good book! Feel the joy of dancing with your pet in a cute children's story for everyone. Per the author's note, this is based on a true story of the author's pug trying to dance with her and her husband... she takes it MANY steps further, of course. 1-2-3...cha cha cha... The cover of this book makes it SO displayable. Yes, it has a hint of Angelina Ballerina and Ladybug Girl, but the book itself doesn't. I see a "When you dream something, do what you can to achieve it" vibe in this book, and I know I smiled throughout reading it. NOTE: Don't feed you dog pizza, please. ( )

This book was interesting at least. The illustrations were pretty and charming. A dog dreams of dancing, but not everyone including her owners thinks she can dance. With some practice, Lulu learns enough to enter the dance competition. The story, however, seemed a little dense for a picture book, trying to make multiple points about practicing and encouragement. I will say that the dog "acting human" felt a little sudden in the story. It didn't seem to fit with the world set up at the very beginning of the story. In all, I think this story is only recommended for children who are really into dogs and can be skipped for the rest.
