Meet Mia, the kitten who loves ballet! This sweet I Can Read story’s adorable illustrations and dance dictionary is perfect for fans of the Tallulah books and for aspiring ballerinas of all ages.

On her first day at dance class, Mia can’t wait to put on her bouncy pink tutu. There’s only one problem: her tutu is too-too big! It falls down and Mia falls over it with every step. But just as Mia starts to get upset, she meets Ruby—and Mia realizes that no setback is too hard to handle with a good friend by your side.

Mia and the Too Big Tutu is a My First I Can Read book, which means it’s perfect for shared reading with a child.

Editorial Reviews

From School Library Journal

PreS-Gr 1–Scat, Cat! tells the story of a lost striped cat trying to find its way home. In Mia, a cat that is an aspiring dancer takes her older sister's tutu, by mistake, to her first dance class. Both books have short, simple sentences and easy plotlines, good devices for beginning readers. The first title is a bit more successful in this regard as it employs more word and phrase repetition. Large, colorful illustrations and an easy-to-read typeface make both books visually appealing. Pictures in Mia are slightly more whimsical, and the cover illustration of a happy kitten twirling in a pink tutu is sure to grab young girls' attention.Kelly Roth, Bartow County Public Library, Cartersville, GA

    A good story for my granddaughter to begin reading. She checks these books out from the Public Library but this one is for her Christmas package. Mia has a problem with her dance costume but confidently carries on after a bit of frustration.

    5.0 out of 5 stars I Can Read! = Awesome
    Reviewed in the United States on May 9, 2012
    Verified Purchase
    I bought a few of these "I Can Read!" for my 5yo and she can't get enough of them. She had been working on kindergarten sight words and was reading other books of the sort, so I figured she would jump right into these. For the most part I was right. There were a few words here and there that she would need help with, but for the most part she was reading away. If you little one is doing well on basic sight words they should be able to hit the ground running with these. I would also guess you could use them as an interesting way to practice the sight words.
