Beautiful book and CDNov 25, 2008
This book is full of information and pictures, and does a great job of describing the major ballets like Coppelia, Sleeping Beauty, and The Nutcracker. My daughters loved the numerous photos and drawings, and read the book for hours and pretended they were at the ballet. The accompanying CD adds an extra layer of interactive learning. I bought this with the Ballet Friends books by Kitty Michaels. Together they made a great ballet gift set. This book of ballet stories is terrific and gets an A++.

Best Book on Classic Ballets!!Jan 09, 2007
I bought this book as a gift for my 5 year old daughter who had just learned about Coppelia at summer dance camp. This book not only has the wonderful pictures and stories of the ballets but also a wonderful CD of the music to accompany it. My ballerina really like the pictures of the pros as well. We read it over and over and make up our own dances to the music. A must have for any ballerina!

Wonderful, inspiring, illustrationsNov 08, 2003
This book should never go out of print. It has the most beautiful illustrations and the stories are told in a charming condenced manner. Each story includes a note or two about the music, some history, original dancers, and practical tips. For example, a note is made in the Swan Lake story indicating that the bow which was to be used to shoot the swans was too heavy for the dancer. He had to change his balance and lower his jumps when he danced with that particular prop. I am a ballet teacher and I have seen many children's ballet books, this one is at the top of my list.

Illustrated Book of Ballet StoriesJun 21, 2000
Great book! We bought it for our 4-year old's first dance recital and are enjoying reading and learning with her. The music is an added value and makes it all the more educational and enjoyable.
