Miss Tutu's Star

by Leslea Newman

Carey Armstrong-Ellis (Illustrator) and Carey F Armstrong-Ellis (Illustrator)

Selena is a young girl who would rather twirl than walk, prance than dance. So one day her mother takes her to Miss Tutu's dance class, where Selena learns how to dance. At first, Selena has trouble performing some of the intricate moves, but she keeps practicing. After some time, the big day comes for Selena to make her stage debut. Will she let stage fright get in the way? Or will she dance and bow in front of the audience? As is typical of her work, Carey adds little stories in the art that are very funny.

I do love it when there is glitter on a cover. :) This is a very cute story with a very purposeful message. However I have to admit that I am not really a fan of the artwork, it's just not my cup of tea. I love this book for the french ballerina terminology. Girls love to dance, and this book shows just how important it is that the adults in their lives show them encouragement. It is possible to achieve your goals.
