“I really love this book, though I may be slightly biased as I grew up dancing. The illustrations are my favorite!!! I love that this book includes dance terminology and vocabulary, which of course adds some French exposure. :)”

“The design and artwork of this book is great, but there's no real storyline or anything pushing you through the book. I think the writing is just okay, but my pre-schooler does like having actual ballet terms in there. The same author wrote another board book, very similar to this one, called Love is a Truck, and while they're both cute books, I'm super turned off by the boy version/girl version feel to them both. Yuck.”

“Adorable illustrations and great inclusion of actual dance terminology. I personally think the cadence and rhyming make this a much easier read-aloud than the companion "Love is a Truck" book, so that gave it a boost in my book :)”
