A Child's Introduction to Ballet: The Stories, Music, and Magic of Classical Dance (Book & CD) by Laura Lee |

Editorial Reviews
From School Library Journal
PreSchool-K–Using the familiar framework of the classic poem's lilting verse, the author depicts a young swan's experience as the solo ballerina in a grand dance performance, led by Miss Faye, a cat who is her ballet teacher. All of the meadow creatures–frogs, hedgehogs, squirrels, and geese–come together to erect scenery, practice, sew costumes, and dance to the animal orchestra. The timid swan, who has worried and practiced all week, does beautifully, upheld by the encouragement of Miss Faye, and the outdoor show under the lights comes to a satisfying conclusion. Both text and illustrations capture perfectly the excitement and nervousness of putting on a production. The jewel-toned artwork done in ink, acrylic, and oil is energetic and endearing. Although not a necessary purchase, young ballerinas will take this title to heart and be entertained.–Judith Constantinides, formerly at East Baton Rouge Parish Main Library, LA

Product Description
The annual ballet is coming up, and everyone in the meadow is getting ready. The frogs are practicing their pliés, the hedgehogs are sewing costumes, and the rabbits and fluffy-tailed squirrels are busy painting the sets. Trouble is, the little swan with the starring role isn’t quite sure she’s ready for the stage. But with the help of her teacher, Miss Faye, the nervous swan spends every spare minute rehearsing—and when her moment in the spotlight finally arrives, a star is born.
