A story about shyness

Meet Katy -- a feisty ballerina-in-the-making who loves to twirl like a leaf, stretch like a flower, and float like a swan. She's all dance, all the time -- until she faces the fear of dancing in front of everyone in her new ballet class at Mr. Tutu's School of Dance! Suddenly the once-bold Katy is overcome with a bad case of stage fright! What's a duck to do?

Kids will relate to this fun, charming story about the shyness that can grip all of us at times...and our inner star that refuses to be denied!

This review is from: Katy Duck (Board book)

My three year old granddaughter loves these books. I bought her this one first and she wanted it read over and over. The next time I visited with another Katy Duck book, she actually squealed with delight! I have two more waiting for her visits. Can't wait to share them.

It helps that her name is Katie I think... but now she reads them to me! She will walk around the house singing "Tra-La-La Quack Quack" :)

This review is from: Katy Duck Doll 10" by Merry Makers (Toy)

Katy Duck doll is a perfect accessory to go with the "Katy Duck" books. My 3 year old granddaughter loves having the "star" of the books as her imaginary playmate. Katy is soft and cuddly -- just the right size to sit on a lap and enjoy reading the books together or to carry around for play.
