review 1: I really enjoyed this story. Chloe was a fun character to read about. She has spirit and enjoys the unusual. I especially liked how, in the end, she wasn't sad to not be a ballerina like her sister: she was happy to be a tap dancer! I also really liked how there was a boy in the ballet class and how it was the girls' dad who did their hair before their class. :-)The illustrations were clever and cute, too, if a little disturbing (was I the only one slightly bugged out by the wide-spread eyes with upturned noses smack between them?).
review 2: Chloe is not a ballerina but her sister Belinda is. Belinda shops for pink and white leotards for ballet class, Chloe does not. Madame Mina, the teacher says Belinda has good toes, but Chloe does not. Chloe has naughty toe... mores. Chloe finds that she does not dance to the same beat as all the others in the ballet class. She flays her arms wildly when she should be graceful. Instead of joining the others who are graceful, she is the rock who must stand still during the performance. Chloe does not know what the future of dance will hold for her, but perhaps Madam Mina does. Kids, parents and homeschoolers will love this softly illustrated tales of dancing and perhaps not quite fitting in. less
