Customer Reviews

The little girls love these books

I bought this book for my 5 year old and then for another little girl for her birthday, and they just love these books. They are like pop up books for older kids - lots of surprises and things to do on the pages. Mostly, this is a cute "girly girl" book...the girls love to pretend to get ready for the dance recital by putting on makeup and combing their hair. Very cute stuff!

My 4-year-old daughter is enthralled by this book!

What makes this book great is the manipulatives -- the removable, miniature items like the comb and brush, mirror, lipstick, and so on. The pieces are lightweight cardboard and will perhaps become dog-eared over time, but only with the huge amount of pleasure that they will bestow upon my daughter. She received this book 2 weeks ago as a gift, and although she can read every word of it herself, she asks me to read it to her every night at bedtime. Along with reading it to her, I take out the comb and pretend to brush her hair, open the makeup case and pretend to put blush on her cheeks...we have a lot of fun with pretend play with this book. This book would be a perfect recital gift for a young ballerina or a sure-to-please birthday gift for any young girl who loves to dance.

Best Book for kids under 5

Gorgeous and educational book for little girls who dream of being a prima ballerina. Fantastic!!!! Highly recommend it.
