Illustrated by
Sophie Blackall.
Ivy and Bean beg for ballet lessons--and almost immediately regret it; Bean is bored and Ivy keeps falling. The final humiliation arrives when they're assigned the roles of squids in the class performance. In this sixth series entry, Barrows continues to provide readers with a laugh a minute in a story loaded with comic situations of which illustrator Blackall takes full advantage.
