Cinderella: My first ballet book by Jennifer Adams, illustrated by Corey Egbert. BOARD BOOK. Gibbs Smith, SEPT 2020. $10. 9781423653585
BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH
Cinderella goes to the ball and falls in love with the prince.
Based on the ballet by Prokofiev, dance mad little ones will love this. There are only three books in this particular series – I hope Adams has more ready for publication. They would be a great short introduction to the story lines before going to watch the ballet.

BabyLit is a series of board books that uses classic works of literature to teach a concept. This board book uses the fairy tale of "Cinderella" and is an introduction to ballet. It is a cute series with nice illustrations.

My first ballet book - well this is now the third one, so there is that, and it is again nothing to do with ballet it is a retelling off the story of Cinderella, maybe it should be called my first folk tale.

Tells the ballet version of the story clearly and appropriately for the age! Could be very useful for helping a kid follow the ballet (or an abbreviated version of it like some companies do).
