I absolutely have to thank the author, publisher and Netgalley for the opportunity to read this adorable book. It is absolutely perfect for young ballet fans. It was such a beautifully illustrated story about Anna Pavlova.

This adorable book covered everything from her childhood, her discovery of ballet, and her amazing career. Even as an adult I learned a few things about Anna Pavlova that I didn't know. I would highly recommend this book for little ballerinas and for dance teachers as well. ( )

Little People, BIG DREAMS. One of a series for adults to read WITH children and for ESL to polish their English and learn about people who have shaped their world.
Anna was born small but determined in a village in Russia. When she was six, she attended her very first ballet performance and decided then and there that she would become a ballerina. And she did! It was very hard work for her, but she became the very best at what she did!
The illustrations by Sue Downing are mostly simple, colorful, and forthright. Every public and school library needs a copy!
I requested and received a free temporary e-book on Adobe Digital Editions from Quarto Publishing Group/Frances Lincoln Children's Books via NetGalley. Thank you! ( )
