5.0 out of 5 stars Denise's Review of Nina, Nina, and the Copycat Ballerina, April 6, 2001

By 

DENISE MARIE ALTHOUSE (CENTER VALLEY, PA United States) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Nina, Nina, and the Copycat Ballerina (All Aboard Reading) (Mass Market Paperback)

I personally thought that this book would be great for the little girl who is in ballet school herself, and might have the same problem with one of the girls in her own class. This book can also be great for the little girl whose mother wants to widen her experiences by introducing her to the world of the arts. This book is a Level 1 book for Preschool-Grade 1, which means that it has very large words for easy reading, lots of repetition, and pictures to go along with the text. I think that this book is so cute and since I am a dancer myself, I know that I would give this book to my daughter in the future! I give this book two thumbs up!

4.0 out of 5 stars Cute for the new reader, December 31, 2010

I bought several of the Fancy Nancy books
for my kindergarten age granddaughter. She
has enjoyed reading all of them and asked
for more...a positive sign that she is on
her way to loving to read.
