(3) K-3 Illustrated by Randy Cecil. Brontorina Apatosaurus is a dinosaur, "but in my heart I am a ballerina." The children encourage Madame Lucille to let Brontorina join their class, but chaos ensues because the studio is too small. When an outdoor locale is found, Brontorina realizes her dream. This (very) tall tale is supported by expansive oil illustrations that capture the movement and humor of the conceit.
