Jasper and Scruff enter a talent show. Scruff wants them to be a dynamic magic duo, but Jasper plans to give a serious theater monologue. There are many animals entering the contest, even Lady Catterly from the Sophisticats group. She sings beautifully, but Jasper and Scruff wonder if something else is going on. They hide behind the scenes, and sure enough... terrible accidents befall every other act. The tightrope walker's rope comes loose. There is a mysterious oil stain on the stage floor that causes the dancers to slip and fall. A sandbag falls and crushes Scruff's magic box. Can Jasper and Scruff prove that Lady Catterly is sabotaging all the other acts?

This is such a fun book! Jasper and Scruff are hilarious! I loved all the twists and turns of the plot, and how the two friends are resilient and resourceful through every circumstance. I love how Scruff is so enthusiastic about everything.

There are a few paragraphs of text on each page, making this the perfect type of book for children who are learning to read small chapter books on their own.

The illustrations are really cute and I love the designs for all the animals characters! Every page is so colorful.
