Book Reviews of Bella Basset Ballerina
Book Review: Bella Basset Makes a GREAT Read Aloud
Summary: 4 Stars
This beautifully illustrated picture book will tickle children of an age to appreciate it (ages 6 and up.) Bella falls in love with ballet after her mother takes her to see a famous production. Her love and passion keep her from losing heart despite other's comments that Bella is not the type of dog that makes a ballerina.
The book's message is that persistence pays and passion trumps any perceived limitations. The vocabulary can be difficult for younger children. It may be beneficial to look up the different dog breeds prior to reading the book and discussing what these dogs are "typically" thought to be good at.
Another book with this message and a dancing theme that I recommend is Giraffes Can't Dance.Giraffes Can't Dance (Magnet Book)
