A young nonconformist uses expressions of strong emotion to convey what she does not like about ballet class while gradually discovering what she does like, in a relatable story that combines onomatopoeic sound words and energetic illustrations. 40,000 first printing. - Baker & Taylor
Ada hates everything about her ballet class and begins to use her anger to discover what she does like. - Baker & Taylor
"Saturdays make Ada cranky because that's the day of her ballet class, and she hates ballet"-- - HARPERCOLL
Ada hates everything about ballet class, yet she still has to go! Arabesques? Grotesque! And then one Saturday, Ada pliés right out the door and into the hallway, smacking into someone who thinks her ungraceful moves are great!
In the tradition of Kevin Henkesâs Lilly books and Russell and Lillian Hobanâs Frances classics, Ada is a plucky little kid with her own way of thinking. Through Adaâs stubbornness and emotional honesty, author/illustrator Elise Gravel shows her understanding of how kids feel and why. She shows us that anger is normal and feeling our emotions leads to growth! This short, funny, energetic bookâfull of word bubbles that enhance visual literacy and Gravelâs signature vibrant illustrationsâis a great choice for both reading aloud and reading independently for emergent readers.
Children who love balletâand definitely those who donâtâwill delight in this clever, subversive tale about a kid who has to do what she doesnât like in order to discover what she loves.
