It’s the day of the Meowtown Dance Competition, and Cuddles the cat has spent the morning in the beauty salon and all the shops. After all, she likes to look her best. What’s more, she’s been busy running errands and practicing her favorite 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 she shine on the dance floor after all her efforts? This story reveals how small acts of kindness and appreciation put real sparkle into any occasion, while capturing all the glitz and glamour in its luminous, jewel-toned renderings.
