The Only Boy in Ballet Class

32 pp. | Gibbs Smith | September, 2007 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4236-0220-0 $15.95
(4) K-3 Illustrated by Amy Wummer. Ballet-dancing Tucker is teased at school and even sometimes at home by his uncle Frank (though his mom reassures him, "I love that you love to dance"). When Tucker's drafted for football, his nimbleness helps win the game--and the team signs up for ballet. The book is well meaning but overly earnest. Dancing across the pages, Tucker is a lovable hero. Glos.
