Ballet lessons, with a few complications

Ivy and Bean have been asking for ballet lessons, but the classes turn out to be different from what they had in mind: ballet does not include karate chops or roundhouse kicks. They are also expected to complete the course they promised their parents they would finish. With an ocean-themed recital approaching, the girls look for a way to avoid performing while keeping that promise. The setup brings together dance, friendship, and the familiar childhood challenge of reconciling what you want with what you have agreed to do.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Young readers interested in dance and comic misunderstandings
  • Children who enjoy stories about friends getting into a dilemma together
  • Ages 4–8, as indicated in the book metadata
