"A rousing, rowdy tale pulsing with the rhythm of country music . . . The bouncy rhyme will be a pleasure for listeners and tellers as they pick up the twang and the barn-dance beat."--"Booklist."

Young readers with hopes and dreams may see themselves in the many sides of Katy Duck as she tackles her first performance--excited, hopeful, shyness, anxious, and eventually confident and joyful. Lighthearted illustrations playfully draw readers through to a jubilant end.
