Peri loves dancing and dinosaurs. So when she tags along to her sister's ballet class and the teacher asks everyone to pretend they are dancing with a beautiful creature, Peri knows the perfect partner.

But Miss Tippytoes is furious! "Never dance with a dinosaur!" she says.

But does Peri listen? She does not – and what happens next is a boogying, bashing, shimmying, crashing, waltzing whirlwind!

With illustrations by the internationally acclaimed Marc Boutavant, this book is set to become a firm bookshelf favourite, and a reminder to always dance to your own tune.
