Reviews
Grade 3-6?Young balletomanes will pore over every detail of this colorful volume. Every highly visual two-page spread covers a different topic from basic positions to dressing for dance to life at ballet school to historical periods in ballet. However, the organization is not chronological. The book succeeds more as a browsing item than as a "how-to" or research tool because it tries to cover an enormous amount of material in a limited space. As in Darcey Bussell's The Young Dancer (DK, 1994), this book is copiously illustrated with photographs reflecting all manner of details about the art form. While most of the photos are excellent, some of the older pictures of classic moments in ballet are quite grainy and the dancers are not always identified. A list of ballet companies to contact is appended. Libraries owning Castle's nearly identical Ballet (Kingfisher, 1996) may not need to purchase this one. Although it is not as emotionally satisfying as Jill Krementz's A Very Young Dancer (Knopf, 1976; o.p.), it will be popular without a doubt.?Cheri Estes, Detroit Country Day School Middle School, Beverly Hills, MI
