This is my favorite book to read to my 3 year old daughter, she and I both love it. The book is very cleverly written in rhyme. The book has great illustrations and an interesting story line.

5.0 out of 5 stars If Pigs Can Fly, Can Cows Ballet?, September 7, 2004

By	L. Reeves (Orlando) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This review is from: Clorinda (Hardcover)

Clorinda is a wonderful book for parents and kids alike. The prose flows poetically with clever rhymes and beautiful artwork to accompany the words. Reading it aloud is a real pleasure. There are books that I find tedious to read aloud, and those rare few that are actually fun. This is definitely a fun one! The story, and the moral of the story, are a bit unexpected. Clorinda goes to cast a ballot and ends up entranced by ballet. Can she make the big time? Can she reach her goal of being a prima ballerina? I can't give away the ending, but suffice to say that the typical story tells kids they can do anything if they try. This one helps them understand that sometimes things don't work out the way we hope, no matter how hard we try -- and that life goes on, happily, afterward. Buy this one!
