From School Library Journal
Kindergarten-Grade 3–Bobby Booby's "heavenly blue feet" attract the concert hall director's initial attention, but it is the bird's dance moves that convince the man to hire him immediately. Fame quickly follows. Reporters and autograph seekers swarm around the performer. Soon, however, the novelty fades. Desperate to hold his audience's attention, Bobby tries wearing socks with various patterns. Only a small duck's adoration and astute fashion sense rekindles public interest in Bobby's act after heavenly blue footwear becomes a sensation. Ratto's lovely illustrations capture the highs and lows of Bobby's career. The only jarring note is the mismatch between the "brown duck" mentioned in the text and the yellow duck of the illustrations. Older children or adults might contemplate the fleeting nature of fame after following Bobby's story, but Hächler never turns didactic. Although not an essential purchase, the book provides a mildly humorous diversion with an unusual animal in the starring role.–Kathy Piehl, Minnesota State University, Mankato

Product Description
The comical tale of the rise and fall of Bobby, the blue-footed dancing Booby offers proof positive that fame may be fleeting, fans may be fickle, but the love of a true friend lasts forever.
Bobby Booby, a remarkable bird with the most amazing heavenly-blue feet, wants to dance. The astonished director of the music hall lets Bobby audition and hires him on the spot. Bobby Booby becomes an overnight sensation. Reporters flock for interviews, fans besiege him for autographs, and Bobby Booby plays three shows a day before packed and cheering audiences. But all too soon the novelty wears off. Suddenly the crowds cheers turn to laughter -- jeering laughter at the silly-looking bird and his absurd blue feet. Humiliated, Bobby Booby announces he will retire from show business. But a true fan, a wise and caring little duck, has a plan. Will it work? Will Bobby Booby prove to be a flash in the pan, or can he stage a triumphant comeback?
