Ballet School (Strawberry Shortcake)

My granddaughter isn't of reading age but books like this stimulate her interest due to the simple words, colorful pictures and a subject she loves...ballet. My daughter has all her vintage Shortcake dolls and we've just begun introducing my granddaughter to Strawberry. Of course, she is crazy about her. This is a level 1 reading book, more advanced for a 4-5 yr old who is beginning to read. But my belief is that children will be more inclined to read if they are brought to subjects of interest on a daily basis. Her brother was reading to first graders when he was 4 so it seems to be working out thus far. The big type and simple words repeated over and over again in the story are educational. Thus, at 3 yrs old we are just beginning to get her engaged in books and she already asks to have stories read every day. Now that she has started ballet, I think this will become a night time favorite read. I enjoy purchasing from Amazon due to the variety and ease of transaction notwithstanding the free shipping advantage. I generally purchase a book with every purchase I make so free shipping is a real plus, in my view.

This book was for my great-niece and she loves the book. She is happy to have her own book so that she does not have to fight with another classmate over this book.

I bought this because my daughter loves books especially when they are similar to things she does! This was perfect for my little dancer! She loves seeing when her favorite characters do the same activities as her.

Strawberry Shortcake is a winner in our book! My granddaughter has taken a keener interest in reading with this book. She wants to take dance lessons now as well! How can you go wrong with kind and tender hearted characters?

Really cute

I purchased this for my great granddaughter. Her Mom is a Strawberry Shortcake fan from way back and thought her daughter would enjoy seeing what her Mom enjoyed. It is very nicely laid out.

Great exactly what I ordered

This is a great book for all little girls who love ballet and who love to dance - great message here. You don't have to be the best at everything.

Purchased for my 6 year old that's in Year 1. Excellent book with lovely images for the Strawberry Shortcake lovers.

I bought this book for my little girl and she loved it! Its not a very wordy book so its good for early readers. The bright and colorful pictures go well with the Strawberry Shortcake world, and the story is a good lesson in friendship.
