(4) K-3 Lila Bloom is in such a bad mood that she decides to quit ballet. Her dance teacher's feigned indifference, however, sparks a flame in Lila. Soon she's leaping high, spinning fast, and signing up for two classes a week. Illustrated with Stadler's black-outlined childlike figures, this book may motivate reluctant dancers, but most younger listeners will miss the reverse-psychology subtext.
