About The Book
Celebrating ten Biff-tastic years of this hilarious story about a small dog with a big personality and even bigger dreams!
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. This super-shiny 10th anniversary edition of this much-loved modern classic includes two brand-new pages showing what Biff has been up to since we saw him last!
Also by Anna Kemp and Sara Ogilvie:
The Worst Princess
Sir Lilypad
Rhinos Don't Eat Pancakes
Dave the Lonely Monster
