Isadora's charming illustrations show the hard work and pain behind the magic on stage of the ballet. The rhyme scheme is a little forced at times, but the pictures and story are well-matched, showing various children working their way through blisters, upset stomachs, initial clumsiness, and badly-timed bathroom breaks to come together in a delightful performance.
Verdict: This older ballet title is well worth digging out if you have aspiring ballerinas in your family or amongst your patrons.
