This heart-warming story has a reading age of up to 7 years.
It is
the story of a young
girl who falls asleep and dreams to do what she would love to do, ballet dance;
however this young girl has a very large obstacle holding her back, she is in a
wheelchair.
The book is beautifully presented
with high quality glossy paper and superb attention to detail; colourful
illustrations are on every other page; it is ideal for youngsters who will
become absorbed looking at the illustrations whilst the story is being read to
them.
The story is told in rhyme and I liked the words and terminology
used throughout the book; there were no lengthy words or words which young
children might not understand.
The book is a compact size making
it manageable for any child with small hands to hold. Plus, it has easy-to-slide pages which make
it easier for small hands eagerly wanting to turn over to the next part of the
story to handle. Additionally, the front and back covers of the book may be
wiped clean if necessary; a bonus practicality for parents reading it to
youngsters with sticky fingers.
