Biff is not like ordinary dogs. He doesn't do dog stuff like peeing on lampposts, scratching his fleas or drinking out of toilets. If you throw him a stick, he'll just look at you like you're crazy. No, Biff is no ordinary dog. Biff likes moonlight and music and walking on his tiptoes. You see, Biff doesn't think he's a dog, Biff thinks he's a ballerina, which is all very well ...But dogs don't do ballet - do they? The hilarious story of a small dog with a big personality and even bigger dreams!

My 3 year old loved this story about a pet dog who has dreams of being a ballerina. Well written and lovely story teaching kids that we shouldn't put people in boxes and that anyone can achieve their dreams if only they try ;)

I loved this laugh out loud tale of a determined dog and his quest to dance. Perfectly illustrated with a quirky, engaging style, this is a story about following your dreams and believing in yourself. I know Biff is going to be a firm favourite for years to come.

Well, I'm not a 3 year old, but I am a children's book illustrator and bookseller, and this book stood out to me. So many picture books have such dull, unimaginative storylines... often badly written too. This book stands out on the shelf for a quirky, charming, original storyline, based around the idea of being oneself. It stands out for its' beautiful, well-observed illustration. It stands out because it made me smile. And it stands out by being a good book; and not just a good book for kids.

My daughter loves this book but unless I'm just incapable of working the kindle properly, I have to say the sizing is ridiculous. Even with some editing, it's a struggle to read. What a waste of money :(

This book tells the story of a talented Pug who wants nothing more than to dance. Ever since I first read it to my four and five year old, they have been asking for it to be read every night! The story is compelling and fun and the drawings are beautiful. A must buy!

I really love this book!
It is so beautifully written. I think the language is really lovely for adults to read without being too sophisticated for children to understand.
The illustrations are very fun and have a lovely stylised vintage look.
I have bought this book for my 3 year old daughter and 4 other girls as gifts and they have all loved it!
It is funny so I think boys would enjoy it too but I have to admit I would not buy it for a boy!

This is a lovely book with beautiful, retro style illustrations.
My daughter, like many others, enjoys hearing the same story over and over again and this one is a pleasure to read.

This is my 2 year old daughter's absolute favourite book. We read it on a daily basis and she never gets bored. It has given me so much pleasure to see her howl with laughter each time we sit down together with it, and now she knows all the words, I sometimes catch her 'reading it' to herself.
More imaginative than most books for toddlers, with beautiful, retro-feel illustrations. It is not a 'girly-girly' ballet book, but a tale of doggy triumph over adversity. Many new words to broaden a little one's vocab.
I cannot recommend this book highly enough. Something about it has really tickled my daugther and now it goes everywhere with us.

Brilliant
My 4 yr old loves this book. We went to see it as a play never having read it and she talked about it constantly. 'dogs don't do ballet!' is a much used phrase in our house.
