Two Ballerinas . . . and a Moose: Ready-to-Read Level 1

PreS-Gr 1–The wonderfully haphazard Moose is back and ready to dance! Moose wants to join two animal ballerinas, but they thwart Moose’s attempts until they see how sad Moose becomes. After encouraging Moose to dance, his friends are in awe of his righteous moves. They ask to join him, and the three dance the night away under a smiling moon. Children will laugh their way through Moose’s antics, his silly dance shoes, and his enthusiastic attempts at twirling and spinning. Readers may recognize themselves in Moose, full of enthusiasm that outstrips his skills, and sympathize when Moose falls in a tangled heap and looks bereft. Smiles will break out when Moose lets loose and dances the night away. Illustrations are vivid and bold with clear expressions, and will likely inspire readers to break out their own moves.
