Naughty Toes, another fun book from Tiger Tales, is one Bear can relate to, having been in ballet last year. In the story, Chloe and her sister both take ballet. However, while Belinda is graceful and coordinated, Chloe is not. Chloe learns to "follow her feet" and find what she is good at.
I love that message. I think it is important for children to understand that they don't need to be good at every extra-curricular thing they try.
Bear thought the illustrations were really pretty with light and pastel colors. "And there was lots of pink!" She recommends the book to any little girl who loves to dance.
Disclosure: I received this book from Tiger Tales in exchange for an honest and frank review.
Thank you for the review. What an important lesson for children. Also read the post on Paul Cezanne and loved it. I do wish that parents/teachers would connect and introduce the children to artists, their work, and painting style. Lays the foundation for not just art history, but world history, culture... I can go on and on; but I'll stop. :) I've enjoyed reading your blog. Thank you, Kristi
