5.0 out of 5 stars Lovely little books 26 Mar 2009

By A. Roberts

Format:Paperback

I was reluctant to get these books, but my little 5yr old dancer liked the sparkly cover (which was what put me off)....... we started on book 1 and are zooming through book 4 now, a few months later.
I like...
- large print so all three children (ages 5, 7 and 9)can follow the text as I read it; also makes it so easy for my 9yr dyslexic old son to sneak the book from his sister's room to finish it in secret. Yippee, he's reading!!!! I wish more children's books were large print.... these are also quite short, so really manageable.
- the stories all include characters from ballets and it does make us all want to know more about the ballets.
- the back of each book has a well explained ballet move - my 7yr old son loves practising those.
- the stories are complex and punchy enough to keep the pages turning.
I don't like....
- some of the prose. It's a bit weak, and we have all started to snigger as the main character "gasps" yet again; similarly the characters are rather watery, but the children don't seem to mind!!

All in all a lovely set, great for reading aloud or for read alone for young readers who are just starting to gain a bit of confidence.
