Dogs Don't Do Ballet

Description:

About this item:

Meet Biff, an adorable little puppy who will stop at nothing to become a ballet dancer. My dog is not like other dogs. He doesn't do dog stuff like weeing on lampposts or scratching his fleas, or drinking out of the toilet. No, my dog likes moonlight and music and walking on his tiptoes. You see, my dog doesn't think he's a dog. My dog thinks he's a ballerina! A fabulous feel-good book about a small dog with a big personality and even bigger dreams.

Christmas present for my granddaughter. She is dog mad. Lovely little story that I know she will love. Nicely illustrated too.

5.0 out of 5 stars A very entertaining children’s picture book!

C. · 6 January 2023

It’s a fabulously entertaining, well written, illustrated children’s picture book. Ideal for early primary. It is hard to get hold of though and may well be out of print.

かわいくて感動的

(function() { P.when('cr-A', 'ready').execute(function(A) { if(typeof A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel === 'function') { A.toggleExpanderAriaLabel('review_text_read_more', 'Read more of this review', 'Read less of this review'); } }); })(); .review-text-read-more-expander:focus-visible { outline: 2px solid #2162a1; outline-offset: 2px; border-radius: 5px; } 「犬にはダンスなんか踊れない!」大人たちからの痛烈な否定にもかかわらず、やっちまったワンコがいとおしい。デフォルメが心地よい、透明感にあふれたイラストと、なかなか皮肉な文体の組み合わせがいい感じです。簡単な英文なので中学生くらいの人だったら十分理解可能だと思います。幼い少女とその愛犬。この著者は「家族の中の孤独」「周囲の無理解によるさびしさ」をテーマにした本が多いですが本作も最後の大逆転に至る経過がさみしくて、いたくて、つらいのがたまりません。ワンコは最後まで信じてくれる飼い主がいて幸せでしたね。そして雄々しく運命に立ち向かう愛犬と暮らしているこの少女も最後は思いが報われてすばらしいハッピーエンドになりました。(プリマドンナにとっては最高に悲劇的な舞台だったと思いますが)

Lovely cute book
