Belinda the Ballerina

(3) K-3 At the Annual Ballet Recital audition, Belinda is rejected before she even dances, due to her oversize feet. Working at a restaurant, she is unable to resist dancing to the band. Her performance brings in crowds--and the maestro from the Grand Metropolitan Ballet, who hires her at once. Cartoon-style drawings filled with movement and color keep the message from being too heavy-handed.
