Star quality with Alvin the performing bear - Aardman Animation

'I had to stand on one leg and do a raspberry' Alvin

If you want to be famous, you have to work and for all would-be stars out there, this is where you start paying. Gruelling dance classes, diets and make-overs are but the tip of the iceberg in the competitive world of music and dance. And as we all know with bands like Atomic Kitten and The Cheeky Girls, talent often has little to do with success.

Which is why Alvin, phenomenally successful performance artist, is willing to share the secrets of how to make it in the toughest of all businesses. From Alvin's early auditions where he really had to stand on one leg and touch his toes, to stardom and the pressures of fame, this book is an inspirational insight into the life of one of our favourite performers.
