Great Children's Story

I thought I was the only parent in the world who had a child that liked ballerinas as much as she liked dinosaurs. She wanted a dinosaur ballerina birthday party! Whoever heard of such a thing? Apparently, it's not so far fetched, since there is a great children's story about a dinosaur that leaves the museum to dance in the Swan Lake ballet. We liked the book so much we bought another copy and donated it to her school library. The story is funny and the illustrations are hilarious. It sparks great imagination in children and is fun to read and look at over and over.
