Nothing that Sparkles suggests--making crafts, playing checkers, and selling lemonade--goes well with the leaping, spinning, and twirling that Ballet Cat likes to do. When Sparkles's leaps, spins, and twirls seem halfhearted, Ballet Cat asks him what's wrong. Sparkles doesn't want to say. He has a secret that Ballet Cat won't want to hear. What Sparkles doesn't know is that Ballet Cat has a secret of her own, a totally secret secret. Once their secrets are shared, will their friendship end, or be stronger than ever? <p/><b>Don't miss the other Ballet Cat books: </b> <br><b><i>Ballet Cat: Dance Dance Underpants <br>Ballet Cat: What's Your Favorite Favorite?</i></b><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><b>PRAISE FOR BUDDY AND THE BUNNIES IN: DON'T PLAY WITH YOUR FOOD</b> <p/>". . .Shea's digital art and one-joke narratives have blossomed. While this romp predictably favors the underdogs, Shea's energized colors, subtle background textures, and manic visuals keep the eye moving, while the shouty dialogue, hapless monster, and sneaky rabbits amplify the silly suspense."--<b><i><em>Publishers Weekly</em></b></i><br><br><b>PRAISE FOR DINOSAUR VS. SCHOOL</b> <p/>". . .Shea's concept of "winning" at school clearly has to do with self-confidence, determination and, sometimes, teamwork-a winning idea indeed."--<b><i><em>Kirkus Reviews</em></b></i><br><br><b>PRAISE FOR DINOSAUR VS. THE LIBRARY</b> <p/> "Story time may have conquered Dinosaur, but with boisterous noise and boundless energy, Shea's Dinosaur titles will never fail to be read-aloud hits.

SANTA</b> <p/> "Energetic, retro mixed-media illustrations depict Dinosaur in a series of fabulous Christmas sweaters, smothering the bottom third of the tree in ornaments and lights, and roaring his way through the best Christmas ever. A must for most collections."--<b><i><em>School Library Journal</em></b></i><br><br><b>PRAISE FOR DINOSAUR VS. THE POTTY</b> <p/>*"Shea's bold collages are as in-your-face charming as his energetic hero, whose exuberance and stubborn avoidance of the potty will elicit both empathy and laughter."--<b><i><em>Publishers Weekly</em> (starred review)</b></i><br><br><b>PRAISE FOR UNICORN THINKS HE'S PRETTY GREAT</b> <p/> *"Shea's cleverly written tale makes this a standout, but there's substance here, too.
