Customer Reviews

I love this book.

The thing about this book that catches my attention is the illustrations. You feel what Rosie feels and you see what is happening so clearly. It is a great book and my daughter loves it.

A book for beginner ballerinas

I read this book to my 3 year neice who had just recently been to her first dance class. She later mimicked what she had learned from the book - pointing her toes, first & second position, etc. All in all - a fun read with very nice pictures. My five year old nephew was also interested in the book.

This book is cotton candy for the eyes.

My granddaughter is four and taking her first series of pre-ballet classes. When she and I chose this book in the library I had great doubt as to how long it would hold her interest, because I couldn't discern much of a story, and that's what she loves. I worried for nothing. This book is filled with beautiful drawings of young dancers-in-training; of the gear they need and the garb they wear during class; of the colorful costumes for each different ballet>>>>One can almost hear the music while reading and drinking in the marvelous illustrations, each dance step carefully drawn and explained, each child of a different ethnic background or age. She asks for it again and again and I will buy it for her as soon as it becomes available-------she doesn't want me to return it to the library! >>>>>Phyl Rosokoff (lenandphyl@aol.com) Williamsville, NY
