Catty Jane Who Loved to Dance

(3) K-3 In her second picture book, Catty Jane excitedly begins lessons at Mrs. Heron's Dance Academy. Single-mindedly focused on practicing ballet moves, she forgoes playfully dancing with her friends Froggy, Piggy, and Goose. Light-footed pen-and-ink and watercolor vignettes depict the rambunctious character's graceful ballet beginnings as well as her insight that dancing with friends in "different ways" is a blast, too.
