Tallulah is a fabulous ballet dancer - and she knows it. She works hard in class, she practices at home, and she loves to dance. So when she learns that a choreographer is casting parts for his upcoming ballet, she is certain she will land a big role. But her brother Beckett is given a much better part than she is, even though he is new to dancing and frequently goofs off in class. When Beckett has trouble learning his role, will Tallulah let her jealousy stand in the way of her love for her brother and for ballet?
This fun story about sibling rivalry will especially appeal to children who are interested in ballet, who have been thwarted when trying to do something big, or who have sibling issues of their own. The dreamy artwork complements the story perfectly, revealing extra layers of emotion to the story. Although this is not the first Tallulah book (see also Tallulah's Tutu), it reads fine as a standalone.
