Isadora shows a group of roly-poly toddlers enjoying a beginning gymnastics class. Teachers lead five girls and four boys through activities such as stretching, tumbling, walking on a low balance beam, and hanging on a parallel bar. The text is minimal, but the real joy comes through Isadora's sprightly illustrations that combine pencil and ink line drawings with swathes of oil paint.
