The sun is sinking at the end of the day when a young girl leaps from the front porch of her home. Twirling and spinning out around her garden, she spies fireflies ready to spotlight the performance about to begin.

Crickets tune their instruments and yes, they are ready!

Frogs jete, leaves and seeds pirouette!

Flowers stand poised and birds dance around their nests.

Swoosh! Back inside the girl dances and all around her home, saying goodnight to all who she loves.

Finally in bed, and snuggled down tight, this little ballerina is off into her dancing dreams.

Throughout the movement and imagination of a nightime routine, a little girl dances. The ballet moves are practiced and also shared with nature around her.

A glossary of terms for each of the ballet moves are explained in the back of the book.

Perfect for little ballet dancers, not only to learn these dance moves but to get ready for bedtime.
