Bookroo's summary
Dumpy La Rue, a pig with a passion for dance, defies the naysayers who claim pigs can't dance. As he twirls to the music in his head, the entire barnyard is swept up in his rhythm. Hooves stomp, wings flap, and feet stamp, creating an irresistible beat. Will Dumpy's determination and joy inspire others to follow their dreams, or will he remain the lone dancer in a world of doubters? Join the barnyard celebration and discover the magic of believing in yourself.
From the publisher
Everyone told Dumpy La Rue that pigs don’t dance. But Dumpy knew better. He closed his eyes and twirled to the tune inside his head. The whole barnyard gathered around, and soon hooves were stomping, wings were flapping, and feet were stamping out a beat.
Elizabeth Winthrop’s romping, rhyming story and Betsy Lewin’s exuberant illustrations will have readers tapping their toes, jumping for joy, and dancing a jig with this passionate pig.
