What's that noise?

Is it a bunch of giant woodpeckers?

No, it's the amazing tap-dance team of Tonya and Ted, who've come to Mud Flat to produce a big dance extravaganza. And now that they've soft-shoed their way into town, all the residents are eager to fork over plenty for tap-dance lessons. How else will they become stars?

Editorial Reviews

From Booklist

Gr. 1-3. When Tonya and Ted blow into Mud Flat with their van advertising "Trillion o' Taps," citizens quickly sign up for dancing lessons and rent tap shoes. Nearly everyone practices dancing, and the entire town plans the big show. Only the curmudgeon Mr. Cusspid scoffs at the event. When Tonya and Ted leave town in the dark of night, the show goes forward anyway, and even Mr. Cusspid makes a surprise appearance. Like the "Music Man" Professor Howard Hill, Tonya and Ted are beguiling con artists, but the Mud Flat folks prove even more charming. Fans of the earlier Mud Flat books will recognize the familiar format and characters and will cheer them in this new episode. Stevenson's watercolor illustrations provide their customary wit and humor. All that's missing is a soundtrack. Linda Perkins
