(3) K-3 Illustrated by Jennifer A. Bell. A frightened mouse is chased into a theater by a cat, takes refuge in ballerina Céleste's pointe shoe, then cautiously strikes up a friendship by leaving crumbs and baubles for Céleste to find. The pear-shaped mouse and long-limbed dancer make endearingly incongruous dance partners. The mouse's-eye-view perspective heightens the drama of a few scary moments, but a warm pastel palette throughout will reassure readers.
