(4) K-3 Beautifully illustrated pen, ink, and watercolor art accompanies a rhyming text that expresses young dancers' anxieties, blunders, and triumphs. Isadora once again demonstrates the visual artistry of ballet in her pictures; the dancer's voice, however, is not as easily captured in the text. Bravo for the illustrations, but no standing ovation for the singsongy verses.
