Every dancing girls favorite book

Time for Ballet is my daughters favorite book since she first checked it out from the library. We checked it out so often that I finally purchased it for her birthday. She loves the story and pictures of a girl who loves dancing as much as herself! I recommend this book to anyone who knows a dancing princess!

A book we return to over and over again!

My daughter loves this book. We have checked it out at least 10 times from the local library. It is by far her favorite ballet book. We started reading it when she was three, and she's still asking for it now when she's almost five.

A BOOK TO KEEP YOUNG DANCERS ON THEIR TOES

All young dancers, boys and girls alike, will easily and happily relate to Tilly. This is a little girl who loves her ballet classes so much that her Mom calls her "Tutu Tilly." These classes are all excitement and fun for Tilly. She likes the special clothes, especially her pretty pink leotard, and she even enjoys warm-up exercises. However, there's also a great deal of work to be done because there's a big show coming up. There are all kinds of animals in the show - Howard is a butterfly, Jake is a dinosaur, and Tilly is a cat. She practices every day because she's determined to dance just like a real cat. Then, as the big day approaches, whoops, she has a funny feeling in her stomach - it's those pre-performance butterflies. However, everyone knows the show must go on. Illustrator McNicholas perfectly captures the action and excitement of young dancers in her sprightly, colorful paintings.
