Time for Ballet

I would classify this book as an informational book, though it is written as fiction our main characters talks a lot about ballet and what it involves. Tilly loves Tuesdays, because she has ballet class and she loves to dance.
This book can be used while talking about ballet or sports related subjects, it can be turned into a creative arts or writing assignment, and can be a leeway into informational books. I really like how the author walks us through classes and the recital, the book also includes boys and non-pink colors, which is a bonus in this content area.

This book is ideal for little children who are interested in ballet, since it shows a couple of positions that they can learn and do. It also seems like a "girl book" but it makes sure to mention that there is in fact a little boy in her dance class. It shows how practice is important when learning something new and is a pretty easy read!

Time for Ballet is one of my favorite books since I first checked it out from the library. I checked it out so often that I finally purchased it. I love the story and pictures of a girl who loves dancing as much as I do! I recommend this book to anyone who knows a dancing princess!

Tilly loves ballet, she loves wearing special clothes, all the different dance positions, and doing her best cat impression. But when it comes time to preform at the big recital, Tilly learns what else comes with ballet, performance anxiety. Ages 2-6

I loved this book. It brought back childhood memories of me being a young girl and falling in love with soccer. It brought me joy.

This is a good book for children kindergarten to second grade. It lets children know it's okay to be nervous, but they should try to have fun all the same. This would be a good book to read before children participate in a school play to let them know it is okay to be nervous.

This book is about Tilly who loves ballet and is excited about everything from the clothes, the different positions, the music, and then at the end of the book, Tilly goes to ballet recital! This charming book has beautiful illustrations and lots of vocabulary relating to ballet and dance. Genre: children's picture book and informational. I would use the "Skimming" reading strategy with this book, to do a gallery walk through the book before reading it to students, looking at illustrations and talking about what the book is about.
