On Your Toes: A Ballet ABC - Rachel Isadora
Yet another thematic alphabet book with gorgeous illustrations - pastel drawings with a dreamy photographic quality. And the terms fit perfectly with the theme. Alphabet books often really have to stretch a bit to make their words fit the theme, but this author clearly knows her stuff. The letters correspond perfectly with dance terms (Arabesque), characters (Odette from 'Swan Lake') and clothing (TuTu). And what's even better is that there is a glossary in the back for those of us that aren't totally up on our ballet/dance terms - complete with pronunciation guide for the French terms. Izzy was totally enchanted and still talks about this book!!
