  This book is overflowing with graceful and glorious poems about arabesques, ballet lessons, glittering tutus, ribbons and - gulp! - performing in a big recital. Perfect for all budding ballerinas.

  On pointe

  That's where I want to go,

  Poised upon one magic toe,

  Not a wobble, not a lurch,

  Still as statues in a church.

  Arms raised high and eyes cast low,

  Dressed in feathers white as snow,

  Not a flicker, not a shake,

  Motionless beside the lake.

  Round about the stage I'll glide

  While the moonlit cygnets hide,

  Not a stumble, not a sway,

  I'll be there ON POINTE some day.
