Miss Lina's Ballerinas

By Grace Maccarone

Book Overview

"An infectiously rhyming text not a little reminiscent of Madeline.... Y]oung readers, budding ballerinas or not, will enjoy the details of the ballet studio and the joie de vivre of the nine young ladies." --Kirkus Reviews

Nine little ballerinas will dance straight into your heart in this adorable story about making new friends and the joy of ballet

In a cozy white house, in the town of Messina,
eight little girls studied dance with Miss Lina.
In pink head to toe, they practiced all day--
Pli , relev , pirouette, and jet .

In four rows of two, Miss Lina's eight ballerinas--Christina, Edwina, Sabrina, Justina, Katrina, Bettina, Marina, and Nina--dance to the park, at the zoo, and even while doing their schoolwork. They are one perfect act, but when Miss Lina introduces Regina, a new girl, the group of nine's steps become a mess.
