About This Book
In this second book of the Ballet Cat series, Ballet Cat is eager for her friend Butter Bear to perform a grand ballet leap. Butter Bear, however, keeps finding excuses to avoid it, from hunger to sleepiness. The humorous reveal is that Butter Bear is embarrassed by her silly underpants. This story gently explores themes of self-consciousness, friendship, and encouragement, all wrapped in a laugh-out-loud package perfect for beginning readers. It's a wonderful read-aloud that normalizes feelings of embarrassment in a lighthearted way.
Ballet Cat and her friend Butter Bear have practiced a dance to perform for an audience, but Butter Bear will need a lot of encouragement to try the super high leaps.
