Ballet Cat only wants to dance, but long-suffering pony Sparkles reluctantly admits, "Sometimes I don't want to play ballet!" Initially gobsmacked, Ballet Cat bounces back with her own secret, but it's a welcome one, leading to a satisfying ending. Shea's first easy reader has an economy of both words and art, and it's funny to boot. The exuberant art is deceptively simple.
