Loved it!! Aug 10, 2009
I can't say enough good things about this book. My daughter is eleven and a beginner pointe student. She's making the change from ballet slippers to pointe shoes, just like the girls in Ballet Friends. This series is right up her alley! The characters have exactly the same interests as her, and they are nice girls with good values, creative personalities, and they love, love, love ballet! This book is just fabulous! Keeps my daughter reading every night! I would absolutely encourage fellow moms and dads out there to try this series.

Builds Confidence Sep 06, 2008
I got this for my 10 y/o niece who's just learning toe. She loves it because the characters are also learning toe for the first time! My niece loves to read and she's very shy, but she's starting to make friends now in her ballet class. I think this book helped her with her confidence and made her feel "cool" to do ballet. It sounds like the main character Bianca is very self-assured and fabulous, and my niece loves to read about her. I'm really pleased this book was such a good influence and now I'm back to order her the next book in the series.

Made a Beautiful Gift Set Aug 09, 2008
Just received books 1-5 in the Ballet Friends series and couldn't be more pleased. The books are so pretty with beautiful ballet pictures on the covers. They made a great gift presentation. My older daughter just finished her first year of pointe, and she loves reading about the characters going through what she just went through. I recommend this book because my daughter enjoyed it so much, and after checking it over it seems very sweet and all about ballet. I'm looking forward to buying more in the series.

Keeping kids active with ballet Aug 02, 2008
I'm a pilates instructor and like to buy books for my kids that promote a healthy lifestyle. Both my girls read the Ballet Friends books which I was happy to find on Amazon. This book was a page turner for my girls and they said it was "awesome." They think Jessie is really cool because she plays basketball and does ballet. I think it's great to encourage girls to play sports as well as appreciate ballet. I feel confident recommending this series and I also recommend Element: Ballet Conditioning DVD with Elise Gulan.

Great for tweens Jul 18, 2008
I bought this for my 10 yr old because she takes ballet, jazz, and tap. She's currently obsessed with HSM and Hannah Montana. I wasn't sure if I could interest her in reading a book, but when I saw it was a dance book and had my daughter's favorite word "fabulous" in the title, I thought it might work. It turned out to be a big hit with her, and now she's even turning her friends into Ballet Friends readers too. After looking through it myself, I noticed the author uses a lot of cool words like OMG, and talks about Sephora, shopping, and even American Idol. But it's very funny and also very sweet with the five characters becoming BFFs and being there for each other through thick and thin. And speaking of thin, I also love how this book shows that girls of all body types can do ballet. Highly recommended.
