Review

Grace dreams of being a dancer, but she does not live up to her name. The other little dancers advise her to give up. She is sad. She decides to draw a picture to cheer herself up and that seems to work. She actually ends up making set designs for the dances. The only thing about this story that seems unsatisfactory to me is the ending, which feels way too abrupt. That said, the illustrations are busy and complementary to the text and any little dancers or those interested in drawing will find this appealing.

Overall Book Score: fair
