Illustrated by
Alexandra Boiger.
Tallulah's desire for a tutu leads to ballet lessons. She diligently practices--still no tutu. Tallulah quits in a huff, but her love of dance remains; she keeps working and eventually gains her prize. The story's light tone, along with colorful illustrations filled with movement, will reward ballet fans (though they shouldn't follow Tallulah's example for first position--she should bring her heels together).
