students, Eva becomes more confident. Eva knows she's found a place
where she belongs. At last her dream of dancing has come true.

creator, which can be explored endlessly with young children

Sight, smell, taste, hearing, and touch-our five senses teach us
about our world. Beloved author-illustrator Aliki's simple,

with a new cover look, this bestselling picture book invites young
readers to use each of their five senses to explore the world
around them. Both text and artwork were expert-reviewed for

lively pictures, with informative details and humorous elements
often appearing in 'balloons.'" Aliki's books continue to speak to
today's young readers. This is a Level 1 Let's-Read-and-Find-Out,
