Beautiful Adaptation

This story is quite nice, and the pictures are fantastic.The author does a nice job re-telling the story of Swan Lake. The only downside is that dance is not tied in at all. We hear the story, and see illustrations based on the story, not on the ballet, which may be intentional but was a tad bit disapppointing to my little ballerina.
