(3) K-3 Illustrated by Rachel Isadora. Works of art by Edgar Degas. This attractive introduction to ballet, accompanied by Degas's art and Isadora's color illustrations, is well organized: an overview of the class environment leads to details about technique, costumes, and performance; summaries of three famous ballets, a brief history of the form, and more information on Degas's love of ballet and the featured works help young dancers contextualize and revere their art.
