Reader Reviews
This review is from: Mouse Ballet (Hardcover)
This book is a story of a little mouse and her ballet performance. It might be considered a "pop up" book because it has little flaps and pieces that you pull out as part of the story. If you are familiar with Michelle Cartlidge's little mouse series, then you will probably like this one. My daughters and I collect these books and this one has a cute story and cute illustrations. The ending is particularly good. However, I can't give it 5 stars because I have to say I was diappointed. I didn't like the larger size of this book (the older ones are very small). The bigger size makes it easier for little hands to pull out all the little "pull-outs", but the book is so much bigger (than "Mouse Wedding" or "Mouse's Scrapbook" for example) that it isn't as charming as those older, hard-to-find books. Also, I didn't like how the words in the little pull-outs (the card from the ballet teacher, the program for the performance, etc.) were typed out in this book, so that the typeface matched the rest of the book. In the older books, the pull-outs are all handwritten, so they really looked like miniature cards and notes. If you haven't bought any of these books before, then you or any little girl will probably like this one very much, as it is a cute book. But if you have some of the older ones, then it isn't as cute as those. (Note: this book isn't for a toddler - they'll probably ruin it. The book is more for the 5 and up crowd. But this book work for you if your toddler doesn't mind letting YOU pull out the notes and letters. Just save it for when she's older).
