Redge’s plans for the Bubbly, Cuddly, Huggly, Snuggly Hearts Party are in jeopardy when the musical act cancels at the last minute. Redge knows the show must go on if he wants this special celebration of friendship to be truly unforgettable. Luckily, he knows just who to put on the bill—the Hey Diddle, Diddle crew! With Cat on the fiddle, Cow jumping over the moon, and Dish and Spoon racing around, they seem like the perfect performers. But something is missing. Dog, the heart of their act, has lost his laugh, and no one knows how to bring it back. Can Jonathan and Redge hatch a plan to restore Dog’s joy to save the party—and rhyme— in the nick of time?
