“Not born to obey! Born to Dance!”
Katherine Reynolds has many powerful moments in her book, but this may be the most prominent. Dylan, a tap dancing horse, loses his job because of his dancing talent. All seems lost until Red Tabby, his ginger cat friend, comes and helps Dylan escape from the dreary life of a slave horse. They enter the life of freedom. They join the Happy Days Circus and both learn to perform. Do they survive and succeed in the end? Read the book to find out.
Reynolds delivers a masterpiece with Born to Dance, a Children’s book that is about much more than talking and performing animals. It is about love, hard work, friendship, and above all, hope. Hope is a simple concept. Just one word. But Born to Dance takes the word “hope” to the next level. Born to Dance will leave readers excited for more. Who knows? Maybe they will even start dancing themselves! “Tip-tip-tippity tap. Tap-tap-tappity, tip.” Rocky Reichman.

‘Dear Dylan and Red Tabby, I’ve just finished reading about your adventures. And I think they are amazing. It’s the longest and best book I’ve ever read in my life I love your book so much, it only took me six days to read it (including reading in some boring lessons at school!) – and in the night when I’m meant to be asleep! Natalie M.
Dear Author, I love your book so much because it is so exciting and I never want to stop! It makes me feel like I’m there doing it too, it makes me feel happy, surprised, shocked and great just reading it. I love animals so it’s fun to read, but I also love drawing and it’s fab that I can draw the pictures. I really hope you do another books soon and please tell me if you do, so I can buy it, that will be great! I think your book is one of my favourites. Hope to hear from you soon. From Sophie P.”
“My best book ever,” Wills.”
“I was pleasantly surprised to find that it was so much more than a children’s book. Ages 8-80 should enjoy it. The way you describe Dylan’s dancing is so vivid. The book kept my interest the whole time and I was actually sorry when it ended. It’s too bad in real life that more people aren’t like the animals who showed so much friendship, determination and forgiveness. Sandi C, USA.”
Dylan thanks everyone who has read Born to Dance and really hopes they’ll continue to write in and tell him their favourite bits. He loves fan mail!
By the way: If you don’t have use of e-mail then please WRITE to ’Born to Dance’ care of: ideas4writers, PO Box 49, Cullompton, Devon, EX15 1WX (United Kingdom).
Dylan and Red Tabby would be glad if you could tell your friends about Born to Dance and where they can buy a copy.
