“An infectiously rhyming text not a little reminiscent of Madeline…. [Y]oung readers, budding ballerinas or not, will enjoy the details of the ballet studio and the joie de vivre of the nine young ladies.” —Kirkus Reviews
Nine little ballerinas will dance straight into your heart in this adorable story about making new friends and the joy of ballet! In a cozy white house, in the town of Messina,
eight little girls studied dance with Miss Lina.
In pink head to toe, they practiced all day–
Plié, relevé, pirouette, and jeté. In four rows of two, Miss Lina’s eight ballerinas–Christina, Edwina, Sabrina, Justina, Katrina, Bettina, Marina, and Nina–dance to the park, at the zoo, and even while doing their schoolwork. They are one perfect act, but when Miss Lina introduces Regina, a new girl, the group of nine’s steps become a mess.
