Review

This toddler board book is shaped like the dancer it talks about. On one side of the page is a description of what the dancer is doing starting with Monday and ending with Sunday. On the opposite page has things the dancer is using that day. Each item is labeled. Some of the words will be over a toddler's head but the reader can always use a word that the child is familiar with or explain what they are. There are a few boys in here but not enough. The ballet page only has girls. For a book that is explaining about being a dancer it would have been better to have included more boys in the drawings. This is part of the “Today I am“ series.

Overall Book Score: good
