A Kid's Review
This review is from: Bella Basset Ballerina (Hardcover)
I gave my little sister this book for her birthday and she asks me to read it to her almost every night. She loves the pictures and story. Now she wants me to get her a basset hound so she can name it Bella.

By Mika The Mutt (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Bella Basset Ballerina (Hardcover)
I've read this book to children and pet lovers and they can't get enough of it! This book is beautifully illustrated (the details are amazing!) and the life lesson it teaches to children hits home for parents like me.
This is a classic and something you'll be happy to read time and time again to your kids.

Bella Basset Makes a GREAT Read Aloud,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Bella Basset Ballerina (Hardcover)
This beautifully illustrated picture book will tickle children of an age to appreciate it (ages 6 and up.) Bella falls in love with ballet after her mother takes her to see a famous production. Her love and passion keep her from losing heart despite other's comments that Bella is not the type of dog that makes a ballerina.
The book's message is that persistence pays and passion trumps any perceived limitations. The vocabulary can be difficult for younger children. It may be beneficial to look up the different dog breeds prior to reading the book and discussing what these dogs are "typically" thought to be good at. Another book with this message and a dancing theme that I recommend is Giraffes Can't Dance.Giraffes Can't Dance (Magnet Book)
