Ah, a book about ballet and sports written by a expert in the field (a principal ballerina)! Isn't that so exciting? I know I was pumped reading that in the foreword of this book.

This was quite the throwback to my childhood when I did ballet. Jumping back into ballet and seeing the first, second, third, fourth and fifth positions brought back so many lovely memories. I can easily see young readers loving this book and wanting to do ballet. This felt like an adorable way to introduce ballet and make it fun for young readers.

The illustrations are also adorable and colourful. I highly recommend this for educators and parents who want a sport book that's loads of fun and educational.

Three out of five stars.

Thank you to NetGalley, Quarto Publishing and Frances Lincoln Children's Books for providing me a free copy of this book in exchange of an honest review.… (meer)
