Angelina Ballerina by Katherine Holabird
Angelina is a little white mouse. More than anything, she loves to dance. My mom reads this book to me every night.
Madeline by Ludwig Bemelmans
"In an old house in Paris / That was covered in vines / Lived twelve little girls / In two straight lines." I love the Madeline books. My grandma says she loved them too, when she was a girl.
Mirette on the High Wire by Emily Arnold McCully
Mirette meets "The Great Bellini," a famous high wire artist who no longer performs. Bellini helps Mirette learn to walk on the wire, and Mirette helps Bellini overcome his fear.
Amazing Grace by Mary Hoffman
Grace likes to dress up in costumes, act, dance, and make believe, just like me.
