A Gift for Ballet Lovers
Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on February 17, 2021Verified Purchase
I bought this book for my 3 year old granddaughter who dances around to the Nutcracker ballet. It is not really written for 3 year olds, but she loves looking at the pictures. I love reading about the dancers and the dance positions I learned about in ballet classes and the glossary of ballet terms. A beautifully illustrated book.
