Reviews

[Matthew · Rating 3 out of 5]

This was a relatively simple story about going to ballet class and serves as a nice introduction to the activity (or is it categorized as a sport). Either way the apparent athletisism involved is plain to see and the terms are nicely introduced. It was a simple book, but effective in its intent.
