Leonard Doesn’t Dance

Watts, Frances/ Watson, Judy

A toe-tapping story about finding your own rhythm from the award-winning creators of Goodnight, Mice!

All the birds are excited about the Big Beaky Bird Ball – except Leonard. His warble-warble waltz with the magpies is more wobble-wobble, and his caw-caw can-can with the crows is a can’t-can’t. The puffins are prancing, the rosellas are rocking and you should see the flamingo go-go-go! Everyone is jumping and jiving, but not Leonard. Leonard doesn’t dance.

Then an unexpected encounter changes everything …

From the award-winning creators of Goodnight, Mice! comes a toe-tapping story about finding your own rhythm.
