Tilly loves ballet, she loves wearing special clothes, all the different dance positions, and doing her best cat impression. But when it comes time to preform at the big recital, Tilly learns what else comes with ballet, performance anxiety. Ages 2-6

This book is about Tilly who loves ballet and is excited about everything from the clothes, the different positions, the music, and then at the end of the book, Tilly goes to ballet recital! This charming book has beautiful illustrations and lots of vocabulary relating to ballet and dance. Genre: children's picture book and informational. I would use the "Skimming" reading strategy with this book, to do a gallery walk through the book before reading it to students, looking at illustrations and talking about what the book is about.

I would classify this book as an informational book, though it is written as fiction our main characters talks a lot about ballet and what it involves. Tilly loves Tuesdays, because she has ballet class and she loves to dance.
This book can be used while talking about ballet or sports related subjects, it can be turned into a creative arts or writing assignment, and can be a leeway into informational books. I really like how the author walks us through classes and the recital, the book also includes boys and non-pink colors, which is a bonus in this content area.
