Miss Lina's Ballerinas and the Prince

by Grace Maccarone Illustrated by Christine Davenier 37 p.

Apparently this book is a sequel and it was delightful. So I imagine the first one is as well. A class of little ballerinas are excited to find a boy is joining the class to be a prince in a recital. Though they are disappointed when he doesn't seem like a prince charming.

This would be good for girls, especially those aspiring ballerinas, and probably those Fancy Nancy fans. If you use it for a storytime you should probably practice pronouncing the French words used for ballet positions. Luckily, there is a glossary in the back of the book. It has a good lesson to not judge someone prematurely. The illustrations were cute and so was the story.
