Review A Bank Street College of Education Best Book of the Year"Young balletomanes will clamor to attend a live performance or perhaps aspire to dance themselves."—Kirkus"Perfect for sharing with young audience members preparing to see the ballet for the first time, or for those wishing to imagine the wonder from home."—School Library Journal"Lovely. . . . The verse text rolls along smoothly in a series of well-worded rhymed couplets. Using color sparingly but effectively, the illustrator creates a sense of music within the scenes and even reveals a backstage secret (the stilts under Mother Gingers skirt). An appealing introduction to the ballet."—Booklist"Its a double bill, introducing both the traditional story and the experiences of its child dancers."—Publishers Weekly"A Clement C. Moore–inspired rhyming text and lively illustrations offer a tantalizing look at the before, during, and after of "tomorrows opening night" for four young dancers. . . . [An] engaging look at the seasonal staple."—The Horn Book Review Quote "Young balletomanes will clamor to attend a live performance or perhaps aspire to dance themselves."−Kirkus Details ISBN0593180917 Author Julianna Swaney Language English Year 2022 Illustrator Julianna Swaney ISBN-10 0593180917 ISBN-13 9780593180914 Format Hardcover Pages 40 Audience Age 3-7 Publisher Random House USA Inc Series American Ballet Theatre Publication Date 2022-09-06 Place of Publication New York Country of Publication United States AU Release Date 2022-09-06 NZ Release Date 2022-09-06 US Release Date 2022-09-06 UK Release Date 2022-09-06 Imprint Random House Inc Illustrations Full colour DEWEY 813.6 Audience Children / Juvenile We've got this At The Nile, if you're looking for it, we've got it.
