Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

The true story of a dog who outsang a diva at the Metropolitan Opera!

When Pasha, a vain wolfhound, gets a role at the opera house, she loves the limelight so much that she looks down her nose at Sluggo, a mutt clown dog. Lost in fantasies of herself as the true queen of the opera, Pasha begins to sing on stage! Reprimanded behind the scenes, Pasha finds that her only fans are Sluggo-and the newspaper that makes her, finally, the star she's always believed her-self to be.

Inspired by a true story from New York City's Metropolitan Opera, this enchanting book will appeal to dog lovers, opera lovers, and anyone with a sense of humor. It includes the original New York Times article and a letter from Renée Fleming, the prima donna who was upstaged by a pooch-but turned out to be a dog lover who thought the singing canine had given her a run for her money!

Synopsis:

- A great dog story.
- Based on a true story, this tale of a dog who upstaged a diva will appeal to dog lovers, opera lovers, and anyone with a sense of humor.
- Erika Oller is well-known through her books with Leslea Newman and an extensive line of gift items featuring happy, rotund ladies. These items, figurines, cards, and other gifts, are widely available from companies such as Beladagio, Sharpcards, and Amazon.
- Will include a letter from Renee Fleming, the diva who featured in the actual incident, plus a NY Times article about the event.
