Customer comments on this selection.
 Five Star Book
I live in London and bought your book at the ballet performance I attended. It is a delight and I am certain Ms. Isadora had a wonderful time executing this book. I thought the humor and illustration right on target. I will order this book for friends over the holidays. Thank you for the fine work.
Humor and Truth
I LOVED this book and gave it to my grandaughters who both take ballet lessons. I never write reviews but saw this option while ordering and thought I must state my joy in discovering this book at our library. I had great pleasure in reading as well as experiencing the illustrations. I remember when I danced and all the poems rang true. Please support this book with a purchase!
 kind of depressing
my 4 year old has been telling me she wants to be a ballerina for the past few weeks. my husband picked this book up at the library and it can't go back fast enough. my girls love the book, but I do have a problem with some of the messages it is sending, as true as they may be. the "so thin, so pretty so tall, she's got it all" message is disturbing especially passing that message on to a 4 and 2 year old.
my only hope is that the mention of bunions and the sore feet and all the other negatives illustrated will actually discourage my dds from wanting to be ballerinas.
even aside from the messages, i didn't think the book was particulary well written.
i'd suggest looking for a more positive book.
For the ballet lover
Just adored this book and felt compelled to let everyone know how great it is. I think Isadora's illustrations and text were right on. I love ballet and used to dance when I was younger. I even performed so can identify with all aspects of this book. I will purchase it for any ballet dancers I know and hope it has a high profile amongst ballet lovers wherever they are!
This Is The Real Thing
I am a ballet teacher and a student gave me this book for an end of the year present. I was so enthralled by the reality of the images and words that I bought this book for my students to read in our lounge area. Everyone loves it and can identify with the settings and happenings. I think this book not only shows some real goings on in the ballet world, which is actually difficult to find, especially for children, but is delightful for all ages to look at.....over and over again. I highly recommend this book for all blooming dancers and ballet lovers as well. Thank you, Ms. Montane
