This book is about a dog called Claude who really likes dancing, especially on his bottom. It is a very funny book, with lots of great pictures, which made me laugh.

Claude has a friend called Sir Bobblysock (a sock with bobbles) and they live together in a house that belongs to Mr and Mrs Shinyshoes. Claude and Bobblysock have lots of adventures. One day they are going for a walk and follow some girls who are going to a dancing class. There is an old lady sitting playing the piano at the class and Claude decides to join in, but his ears keep getting in the way. When a fly goes up his shirt he does a ridiculous dance to scare it away and the dance teacher thinks he is so good at dancing that she invites him to join them at the theatre. At the theatre he meets all kinds of interesting people (dancing ladies in extraordinary costumes, Marvin the Magician and his rabbit, and an enormous Viking woman who breaks tea cups with her voice). But at the theatre there is also a ghost! The ghost keeps scaring people until Claude solves the mystery and is rewarded with lots of cakes.

My favourite thing about the book is the funny pictures of Claude doing his bottom dance. I think boys and girls will like this book (even though it is very pink) especially if you like going to the theatre and don't get too scared by ghosts!
