(3) K-3 Pearl has visions of "gliding...like a ballerina on the ice" in her new skates, so she's disappointed (and embarrassed) when she can't even stand up. For a while, she refuses to try again, but after an early-morning lesson from tactful Uncle Jack, she bounces back. The gently humorous story, with its expressive illustrations, makes it easy to empathize with Pearl.
