Bookroo's summary

Brontorina, a dinosaur with a ballerina's heart, faces a world not built for her dreams. Her size is a challenge, but her determination is unmatched.

From the publisher

“A hugely sympathetic heroine.” – Booklist (starred review) Brontorina knows, deep in her heart, that she is meant to be a ballerina. James Howe’s lovable dinosaur is of a size outmatched only by her determination, and has talent outmatched only by her charm. Accompanied by Randy Cecil’s beguiling illustrations, here is an irresistible story that proves that no problem is too big when the heart and imagination know no bounds.
