A fabulously funny, glamorous tale from the bestselling illustrator of The Princess and the Wizard.

It's the day of the Meowtown Dance Competition, and Cuddles has spent the morning in the salon and at the shops. After all, she likes to look her best! What's more, she has been busy running errands and practising her favourite dance routines… so perhaps it's not surprising that her afternoon catnap lasts longer than it should. Will Cuddles get to the competition in time, and will all her efforts allow her to shine on the dance floor?
