Lily and her super talented
canine sidekick, JJ, want to buy the perfect birthday present (a new drill),
for Dad, but haven’t been able to come up with enough money between them. What
to do?
An opportunity arises in the
format of a school talent quest. The cash prize on offer is just what they need
to purchase Dad’s drill. However, with the categories of Public Speaking and
Dance off the menu, they are left with the singing category….and this is where
the difficulty begins! JJ is advanced at many things… (why, even cake making)!
… except singing! When he accidentally breaks a tooth, it seems as though all
is doomed. Or is it?
Brightly illustrated and
peppered throughout with “Dad” jokes, Anh Do has created a wonderfully funny
tale of persistence, working with what you have and teamwork. Even though the
singing may not win the day, there is a surprise offer awaiting the two
friends, which will surely please Dad.
The book comes with a
wonderful 3D cover and a bonus sheet of stickers in the back. This will be enjoyed
by young readers aged 8-10+ years of age.
