Customer Reviews

Tanya, the beautiful swan, emerges!

This a beautiful rendition of ballet and the folk story about the Ugly Duckling. Tanya demonstrates that she has to be the character to be ready to dance for the performance. This book is a joy for little ballerinas and those who appreciate "the coming to life" of a story via ballet. Enjoy!
