(4) K-3 Illustrated by Diane Goode. Rosie always loved to dance at home with Bear, but her love falters when she struggles in her new ballet class. A gift of special ballet slippers from her encouraging teacher gives Rosie the confidence to dance her best. The message isn't subtle; but the spare, delicately colored brush, pen-and-ink, and pastel illustrations, set on plentiful white space, allow the movement of dancing to dominate.
