Kent, Allegra

Ballerina Gets Ready

(3) K-3 Illustrated by Catherine Stock. In the tradition of Philharmonic Gets Dressed, ballerina Kent takes readers through the twelve hours before showtime. Iris attends company class, a costume fitting, and rehearsals, squeezing in meals, socializing, and a nap in between. At book's end, the curtain lifts, and "The magic begins." Simple text and energetic, loose-lined pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations convey the stresses and pleasures of Iris's busy day.
