A lovely book that children will enjoy. The story of magic and mystery based around the cat characters is a delight.

Seemed to be confused on whether it was geared towards young, middle grade, or older children. Overly repetitive and the story was at times confusing.

Magical! I loved this story! I'm a cat lover, so I may be prejudiced....! But I loved the mystery and magic and suspense of this story- and I'm a grown up- kids will love this tale.

This book is for kids who love cats and ballet. Because of the vocabulary level, I would recommend it for a good reader in grades 3-5. It would also be a great read-out-loud. There are many unusual names in Dancing Paws of Magic so a child with dyslexia may find it frustrating. This book has many chapters, but read aloud to children who love animals and funny situations, it would be delightful.

Princess Fuzzypants here:
This is a whimsical and sweet story about a troupe of ballet dancing cats who lose the desire to dance. They have been given their talent and ambition through magic and the magic is wearing off. Thankfully the ghost of a lepremog (the feline version of a leprechaun) intervenes and recharges the magical batteries in time for a very important performance.
The cats act like normal moggies until after dark when an entire other word reveals itself. This feline version of the Russian ballet is a world worth visiting. It would be an enjoyable book for young and old. All it requires is a little magic.
I give this four purrs and two paws up.
