Tallulah just knew she could be a great ballerina, if only she had
a tutu. So she starts ballet class. When she does not receive a
tutu, she quits. But everywhere she goes, things keep reminding her
of ballet. Her neighbor's basset hound always stands in second
position. The kitchen clock performs perfect "ronds de jambe." And
Tallulah can't seem to stop doing ballet, either. A park bench
makes a perfect "barre, "and what better way to pet the dog than
with a graceful "plie"? This well-told, funny story with a smart
new character will satisfy girls' cravings for pretty and pink, but
also shows that ballet is about more than just the tutu.
