After receiving a beautiful pair of ballet slippers, a young girl named Rosie eagerly anticipates her first dancing lesson. When the day finally arrives, Rosie discovers that learning ballet is difficult--but wonderful. Color illustrations accompany the text.

Publisher's Note
Rosie dreams of being a ballerina one day. So when her mother buys her the prettiest pair of pale pink ballet slippers she's ever seen, she can hardly wait for her first lesson. Meloni's extraordinary illustrations convey all the joyous excitement of a little girl's first ballet lesson, as Rosie and her friends seem to dance off the pages. Full color.

Industry reviews
Meloni's luminous portraits of exuberant children entice readers into this sweet and spirited picture book about a girl's first ballet lesson. Outfitted in her brand-new pink slippers and leotard, Rosie joins a diverse, multicultural class of eager boys and girls as they learn saut?s and pli?s under the watchful eye of Madame. By lesson's end, Rosie has learned many ballet basics and, more importantly, had a great time. Hampshire, a British author and actress who trained as a dancer, plays up the joy of movement in her kid-like descriptions of dance positions and steps. Students point their toes "like sharp pencils," hold their skirts out "like butterflies" and stand with backs "straight as ironing boards." Skipping, jumping and "dancing like animals" are also part of Madame's fun-filled methods. Meloni's (Old Father Christmas) illustrations skillfully capture the text's playful mood and the children's boisterous energy, as well as a few tender scenes of what appears to be grace-in-progress. Young readers will take away a healthy dollop of nuts-and-bolts ballet terminology and intensified enthusiasm for dance. Ages 4-7. (Apr.)
Lopate 

PreS-K While this book about a little girl's first ballet lesson is undoubtedly pretty and pink, it's also refreshingly realistic. Hampshire's play-by-play narrative is matter-of-fact, but there's poetry and childlike immediacy in her writing, too-the accompanist's fingers "...run up and down the piano keys like mice'' and one of the students "...puts her arms out to the side like a scarecrow." Madame comes across as a kind, yet firm sort of teacher, and her attitude rings true. She conducts the class with energy and command, describing movements with vivid simplicity. Meloni's paintings are photoreal and charming at the same time. Rosie is beautiful and brown-skinned; the other dancers are lovely, too, but even those who are more experienced don't possess any great level of skill or unbelievable natural grace. What's important and evident is that they're all having a great time. Children who have taken ballet will surely relate to this story, and it's a wonderful introduction for those who haven't.
