About this title

Synopsis

A Level 1 PreK/K book in Random House's acclaimed Step Into Reading easy reader series. It's the day of the ballet recital! Excited children (various girls and a couple of boys) in a small ballet class dress in their new tights, tutus, and sparkly ribbons. They warm up at the bar and practice leaps. They peek around the curtain at the familiar faces of family of friends in the audience. Music starts. The young dancers rush to find their places onstage. They "twirl like snowflakes / sway like trees / dancing steps / in twos and threes." By the time their dance show is done, they feel like "ballet stars!"
