"Tallulah is so enigmatic! I love her return in this book as she helps her brother learn ballet. She seems like a real little girl that I know. Another great book by Marilyn Singer!"

— Rachel, 9/15/2013" Food to have nontraditional gender portrayal through ballet. Sibling relationship and such unique contexts, dance studio! "
— Yoo, 4/23/2013" I thought it would be more of one person's struggle but its a sibling story. I noticed that older children get the grasp of it but younger kids lose attention towards it. It was cute, nice, and simple I liked it. "
— Zinnia, 4/22/2013" The illustrations are wonderful! As a big sister I might be biased toward the story, but it was very sweet. "
— Celeste, 3/10/2013" Tallulah returns. This time, her little brother, Beckett, joins ballet and Tallulah doesn't think he's doing his best. A sweet story for siblings. "
