This review is from: We Love Ballet! (Pictureback(R)) (Paperback)

My daughter is a "girly-girl" who loves ballet! We found this book over the summer. It was great preparing her to start ballet lessons in the fall. The book is about a little girl who loves ballet. It shows her in ballet class, shopping for ballet shoes, reading bedtime fairy tales with her mommy, and then preparing for her recital. The photos are up to date and really make the book. Any little girl would love this story!

My daughter, 3, loves this book. I wish there were more books like this. Books about real kids doing normal things that use photographs of kids instead of animal characters. My daughter really relates to the photos and situations in the book. Good for any little girl who is interested in ballet!

This review is from: We Love Ballet! (Pictureback(R)) (Paperback)

I bought this after my 3 year old's first ballet lesson and she just loves this book. We read it every night, although I just give her the gist of the story instead of reading all the words because she likes to talk about what she sees and ask questions on each page, too. She likes to point out each girl that has a pink or blue leotard just like hers, and find which one is Ursala on every page, etc. I think it has helped her understand what her teacher is asking them to do, as well. I can help her position her arms and legs like the girls in the picture until she can do it by herself, whereas the teacher doesn't really walk around and do that in her class. The girls' tutu's on the cover and back of the book are textured, she likes to touch them, and it helps her understand the recital outfits are special.
