Miss Lina's Ballerinas And The Prince (2011) - Plot & Excerpts

My daughter is surely going through a "Ballerina" (Bah-yee-nah, according to her) Phase, and she was the one who picked out this lovely little book from the "new children's picture books" section at the library. The illustrations are a little choppy, but I enjoy the style of them. The colors are nice and vibrant, bringing out the movement and character of the girls. It has a lovely, melodic feel when you read the words out loud, and the story is awfully cute. I think this was our favorite of all the books we checked out of the library today. 33 months - We enjoyed the first one more but being that my daughter wears a tutu daily and tries to wear it to bed each night I like to try and get one girly book out of the twenty I put on hold each library trip. I love the illustrations and the story is cute. It gets a bit much to repeat all the -ina names over and over and the rhyme was close but not quite spot on. O loves the definitions and tries to figure out the moves that go with them from the pictures. This not so girly mom might just have to cave and get her tutu wearing toddler some dance lessons.
