Book Reviews of A Child's Introduction to Ballet: The Stories, Music, and Magic of Classical Dance (Book & CD)
Book Review: I like it, but the age rating may be wrong.
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this so that I would have something to read to my ballet students occasionally. It is a beautiful book, however, I would recommend it for maybe the 8-10 age group. The music is nice to listen to at any age though. I had quite forgotten how many of the themes of ballets are a little racy! And how would a 4-5 year react to stories about love triangles, suicide (Romeo and Juliet), and other "mature" themes in ballet. I think older ballet students would get more of a kick out of this book than 4-6 year olds would.
