Awesome book and music! Jennifer This book is awesome! not only does it tell you about ballet stories, it has music to go along. and also some of the vocabulary. it's really terrific!. Wonderful, inspiring, illustrations Mary A Falconer This book should never go out of print. It has the most beautiful illustrations and the stories are told in a charming condenced manner. Each story includes a note or two about the music, some history, original dancers, and practical tips. For example, a note is made in the Swan Lake story indicating that the bow which was to be used to shoot the swans was too heavy for the dancer. He had to change his balance and lower his jumps when he danced with that particular prop. I am a ballet teacher and I have seen many children's ballet books, this one is at th. for ballet lovers, of all ages chicagomom My 5 (then 4) year old was given this for christmas. She plays it over and over, sometimes looking at the book, but often just listening while she draws or otherwise plays. She loves the stories, and even though they are somewhat over her head, she comes back to this and asks more questions after each listening. I enjoy the book, which has lots of ballet trivia and pictures/designs, and would be great for a preteen who is becoming enamoured of ballet.
