Time for Ballet

Time for Ballet by Adele Geras, with illustrations by Shelagh McNicholas, is another great find to read to your child (age 3-6) who loves ballet, getting dressed for class, the classroom environment, and  "performances."

Shelagh McNicholas offers joyful illustrations of young children, both boys and girls, in class.

While I was at first concerned about the "ballet class stereotype," I do feel that the book does a nice job sharing a story common for many young children. It is a great book to check out of the library or keep on your shelf at home. It will support a young dancer's love and curiosity of the art form.
