5.0 out of 5 stars Imagination & Color, August 16, 2006

This review is from: Ballerina! Board Book (Board book)

This board book opens the door to imagination and to the learning of colors as it progresses from simple line drawings to more colorful presentations of ballerinas in elaborate costumes. A girl in a white leotard dances swan lake, etc. A last fold-out page presents all the colors and the positive idea that the young girl is the best ballerina. Sweet and simple.

My daugther reads it and reads it... She performs all the Ballet steps in front of the family and relatives every chance she has. The fact that it is hard cover makes me happy because this book is going to be almost forever.

This is a beautiful book - it is sturdy and had wonderful pictures and words. We have read this book a zillion times and both parents and children still enjoy it -- this is good for the 3-year old set.
