(4) K-3 Step into Reading series. Illustrated by Abby Carter. A school-aged girl, both a ballerina and a star baseball player, goes into a batting slump after feeling intimidated by two bullies. With the championship game in sight, the Baseball Ballerina outwits the boys and clinches the win. Although the plot is predictable and the ballet aspect seems superfluous, this early reader, illustrated in soft watercolors, depicts a talented female heroine.
