Product Description
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!

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.

5.0 out of 5 stars My daughter loves this series, October 3, 2008

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" :)

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute book for older than 1 1 1/2 yr olds, April 10, 2009

By	Jennifer L. Plante "j1plante" (Andover, MA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

My daughter Katie is bored with this book but she is only 18 months. She prefers books that are touch and feel or that has a rhyming dialogue. I thought she would like this one because she loves other books featuring dancers and likes to point and say "duck" in other books featuring ducks. Also, this book has short fun sentences that I thought she'd enjoy hearing "Tra-la-la" so I'm not sure why she doesn't like this one. I'm hoping she will when she's a little older. I do enjoy reading it to her and it has a good lesson for kids old enough to understand it.
