This is the debut of two new characters created by Keats. The newcomers don't talk very much, but when they get together, things happen. In this book with animal characters, a cat asks a dog to dance. From that point on, we are carried with them on a flight of imagination from country to country and from age to age. The musical motion of the changing scenery and costumes, and the humorous antics of the somewhat unusual pair on the dance floor, offer much to look at, but at the same time leave room for the child to fill in details from his own imagination.
