Her books have been nominated for the Booktrust Early Years Award, the Roald Dahl Funny Prize, the Waterstones Children’s Book Prize, Oscar’s Book Prize, and the Dundee Picture Book Award. It also has a very interesting use of an in-text narrator which could be used with children's to enhance their writing styles. This book challenges assumptions and defies gender stereotypes, which can limit one’s possibilities and talents.

Like most stories aimed at young children this story emphasises the importance of importance of living honorably. The illustrations match the text beautifully, and add more emotion to the story; even showing Biff shed a tear.

He doesn’t do dog stuff like weeing on lampposts or scratching his fleas, or drinking out of the toilet.Un beau récit original et merveilleux qui met en vedette un animal voulant se prendre pour une danseuse de ballet.

I love this book as it shows children about stereotypes that just because you may not see many people doing something, doesn't mean you can't. Funny story for my little girl who likes to pretend to do ballet :-) she likes spotting the dog when he's hiding whilst following the little girl to her lesson and to the theatre.

Each evening she goes, she know her dog wants to come but Dad always says no 'Dogs don't do ballet'. Tohle je přesně ten druh knihy, kterou bych četla svým dětem a pak si s nimi povídala o tom, jak je důležité se nevzdávat.

Her work has also been adapted for television (Bookaboo, CBeebies), puppetry (Little Angel), dance (Ballet Black), orchestra (LSO) and theatre (New Writing North, Little Blue Monster).

This hilarious and beautifully illustrated book will have young readers giggling time and time again. A fantastic story about feelings, following your dreams and not letting anyone stop you from doing something you love. The artwork, not only on the cover but throughout the book, consists of extremely well observed, beautifully hand-drawn illustrations in a vintage style.Throughout the book Biff follows around his owner and tries to join in with ballet and ballet activities, with his owner constantly being told that dogs don’t do ballet. Tato kniha mi vlastně řekla, že si mám jít za svým snem a i kdyby všichni okolo tvrdili, že svého snu nikdy nedosáhnu, vždy je tu ještě vesmír, který se pokusí mi můj sen splnit, pokud se nevzdám a budu věřit.
