It’s a tough world out there but you don’t give up, ever. That has to be the most poignant message to come from this story.
The residents of Mud Flats are bowled over when the dazzling team of Ted and Tonya arrive to put on a dance show. There are auditions and rehearsals with money pouring into the dancing team’s pockets.
Sadly, the animals of Mud Flat discover that Ted and Tonya were just out for their money when they sneak off into the night before the show.
The story, happily, doesn’t end there. And that, makes this a story of hope, kindness and neighborliness.
Excerpt
There was a big crowd in front of the post office.
Stan climbed on top of Neddy to get a better view.
“Oh wow!” said Stan.
Two dancers in fancy clothes were tap-dancing on the back of a van. Their feet moved so fast that Stan could hardly see them.
The crowd clapped.
