I was just obsessed with this book when I was a kid. The photography is great and it totally captured my imagination. I'm sure some of my love of art and cities came from my connection with this book.
This book is awesome! This is an inspiring to read. I hope every young child developed their skills and talents through reading this one. I found this book very cute and helpful.

- Quotations
- I love ballet. I've been taking lessons since I was six. I'm ten now. My sister Andrea, who is twelve, started when she was eight. We both go to The School of American Ballet. She's taking toe this year and she lets me try on... (show all) her slippers. Next year I'll take toe for five minutes at the end of each class. Andrea says it makes you feel big but that's just the beginning. After a while it just hurts. You get blisters and bunions. Her feet are a mess. You should see them.
