Synopsis

In this holiday spin-off to the instant New York Times bestseller Dolly Parton's Billy the Kid Makes it Big, Dolly's favorite god-dog is back with a tale about the true meaning of Christmas.

French bulldog Billy the Kid is one lucky pup. He has everything he could ever want: a place in Nashville, a great band, and even a cross-country tour. It's all totally tail-riffic...but he can't help but feel that something's missing. When Billy's band is scheduled to perform at Barkafeller Center on Christmas Day, he'll have to decide what matters most to him: fame or family?

Hilarious and heartwarming, this holiday picture book about the importance of family, friendship, and of course, paw-some music, is one the whole family will enjoy.

Goodreads review by Ryan on March 18, 2025
