Josephine Wants to Dance

32 pp. | Abrams | October, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-0-8109-9431-7 $15.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Bruce Whatley. "Kangaroos don't dance," protests Josephine's little brother, but that doesn't stop our heroine. When the ballet comes to town and the lead ballerinas are injured, Josephine comes to the rescue, realizing her dream of dancing in a tutu and pointe shoes. Set on pink backgrounds, the lively illustrations convey movement and reflect the humorous Australian-flavored text.
