This is a very interesting book that would be best for young beginners between the ages of 8 and 11.  It takes you behind the scenes to see what really happens in ballet class.  It also teaches you a few positions.      

 

This is a great book for beginners, although I don't like the fact that the dancer in the book is on pointe and is only about seven years old.  It teaches you how to dress for class and a few basic steps.

 

This is a great book for anyone who is interested in starting ballet.  It tells you how to pick a good teacher, how to dress for class, some simple steps and then more complex ones.  This book is worth looking at.

 

This is a very nice informative book which is also easy to read and good for kids in around fourth to sixth grade.  I really enjoyed it and think that it's a good book to read.  I've found that Anna Pavlova books writen for adults are very hard to understand.  This was probably one of the best Anna Pavlova books I've read.

 

This book is beautiful, writen by Anna Pavlova and illustrated by Degas it is so enjoyable you will read it multiple times!  Adults and children alike will love this book, it is written in simple words so kids can understand it and the pictures jump right off the page!
