Customer Reviews

Makes a nice surprise

It was the perfect surprise for my daughter before her dance recital. It helped make it special. I recommend to anyone with a little dancer at home!

Great pop-up book for young dancers

"My Dance Recital" by Maryann Cocca-Leffler (Robin Corey Books, 2009) ------------------------------------------ An outstanding dance-oriented pop-up book, with several innovative design elements. One ballerina twirls in full circles as the opening page unspools a thread wound 'round a central pole; a pull-tab chorus-line kicks in unison, another page opens up to reveal a tutu-clad dancer whose multi-layered skirt includes a real cloth layer and who takes a bow when you pull on a tab. My kid gushed when she saw this book, and has enjoyed it ever since... Although it's primarily ballet oriented, the book also shows kids doing tap, folk and jazz dance... it's an ideal present for any kid in a serious dance program, particularly those with performances coming up. Recommended! (Joe Sixpack, ReadThatAgain children's book reviews)
