This new children's classic concerns the first "Bunny in the Ballet," and it's so apropos considering that ABT, just promoted the worthy Misty Copeland, the first Afroamerican Ballerina, to Principle Dancer. Of course, A BUNNY AT THE BALLET had its genesis long before Miss Copeland's triumphs, but herein is it's genius; that it is a truly original and sophisticated children's tale rooted in the realities of Life and meeting its challenges one pas du beurre at a time!
The illustrations are wonderful! They're vibrant, elegant, and super cute. I bought this for myself and I don't have kids, but when I do this is going to be one of my old books I'll keep around for them - boy or girl. It contains a practical lesson about not letting people get you down about doing things you love just because you're different.
Loved this book! Very enchanting and sweet story of an adorable rabbit in Paris with aspirations of being in the ballet. Highly recommended!
wonderful book! I loved the fact that the bunny succeeded in making her dream come true. A very positive book for all of us
