Ballet Cat Dance! Dance! Underpants! by Bob Shea

4.0

So cute! This Buckeye Children's Book Award nominee (K-2) tells the story of Butter Bear, getting ready for her dance, but who keeps coming up with reasons why she can't do the leap--she's hungry, she's thirsty, she needs to hibernate first! She reveals to Cat why she's afraid to jump: the audience will laugh at her underwear! But Cat reassures her that if she dances with all her heart, "the only thing they will see is the beauty of ballet." And it works. And then of course, because this is a cute kids' book, we see Cat's underwear at the end! Ha! "What's so funny about underpants?" indeed! Snort.
