(4) K-3 Illustrated by Edgar Degas. In a text drawn from her 1922 memoir, Pavlova explains how her life was changed when her mother took her to see the ballet Sleeping Beauty. Paintings by Edgar Degas accompany the story, though they aren't always appropriate for the text. The total package, elegant to look at but not especially childlike, concludes with facts about Pavlova's life and two black-and-white photos of the dancer.
