Bookroo's summary

Tallulah dreams of being a ballerina, convinced a tutu is all she needs. Disappointed when she doesn't receive one, she quits ballet class. Yet, ballet seems to follow her everywhere—her neighbor's dog poses perfectly, and even a park bench becomes a barre. As Tallulah dances through her days, she learns that ballet is about passion and practice, not just the costume. Will she return to class and embrace her love for dance?

From the publisher

Tallulah just knew she could be a great ballerina, if only she had a tutu. So she starts ballet class. When she does not receive a tutu, she quits. But everywhere she goes, things keep reminding her of ballet. Her neighbor’s basset hound always stands in second position. The kitchen clock performs perfect ronds de jambe. And Tallulah can’t seem to stop doing ballet, either. A park bench makes a perfect barre, and what better way to pet the dog than with a graceful plié? This well-told, funny story with a smart new character will satisfy girls’ cravings for pretty and pink, but also shows that ballet is about more than just the tutu.
