My daughter loves it: she practices the five positions and basic dance techniques presented in the book. Lovely photos, and easily understandable information. This book is a great introduction to ballet, and will surely motivate children to attend a ballet class.

Introducing Goodreads to my daughter and this book got the 5-star applause from her.

The photos are beautiful. But as a ballet student myself (in fact both of my daughters and I ALL take ballet classes) I can't help but roll my eyes when right next to text explaining that "ballet steps have French names" is a caption showing students doing a releve and instead saying "this is called a rise. Huh?

very entertaining for the little girl i read it with. she is only 4, but loves ballet, so she immediately identified with the character.

So cute for a little girl!! I still have this book and it's partly to blame for my love for dance!!
