(4) 1-3 Illustrated by Jan Brett. In a Christmas story that will appeal to doll fans and ballet lovers alike, second-graders Ilyana and spoiled-rich-girl Mary Jane both pine after the same realistic-looking ballerina doll, Noelle. Noelle herself, though, dreams only of a life on the stage. In a plot that relies heavily on coincidence, everyone gets what she deserves. Brett's black-and-white illustrations add to the seasonal atmosphere.
