(4) PS Illustrated by Pamela Paparone. Although "Bernice loved to dance," a pink tutu and ballet shoes can't help this klutzy dancer. When a new student, Bertram, joins ballet class, his perfect pirouettes bore everyone except Bernice. She asks to be his partner for the recital and becomes Bertram's comic relief. The self-confidence theme overwhelms the simplicity of the portrayal of Bernice's desire to dance in this story illustrated with lively art.
