Tallulah dreams of becoming a ballet dancer with her very own tutu. Her mother agrees that she should take ballet lessons and earn her tutu. Tallulah learns more than just ballet in her dance classes. She learns that you have to work hard and be very dedicated. This book helps to teach students a lesson in responsibility, hard work, and loving what you do! The illustrations vividly and accurately portray the different ballet positions and will inspire anyone to dance. We found this book at the Read-to-Me tent at the National Book Festival on the National Mall in Washington DC and just had to sit down and read it together. This is a fun story about learning ballet (and patience.) Tallulah starts ballet lessons in order to get a tutu, but continues because she learns to love the art of the dance. The illustrations are colorful and nicely detailed; this story would be perfect for introducing a young child to ballet. We enjoyed reading this story together.
Sometimes you have to work long and hard for the things you want...especially your tutu.
