Book Descriptions
for Bravo, Tanya by Patricia Lee Gauch, Satomi Ichikawa, and Miguel Angel Mendo
From Cooperative Children's Book Center (CCBC)
The star of Dance, Tanya (Philomel, 1989) still loves to dance and now she's old enough to attend ballet classes as a bonafide member. But she finds that dancing is hard work and, though she manages to keep up with the her classmates, she still prefers dancing outdoors to the music in her head. Ichikawa's softly colored illustrations capture the exuberance and enthusiasm of an energetic child who loves to dance. (Ages 4-7)

From the Publisher
Tanya loves to dance but has trouble integrating her steps with the clapping and counting of her ballet teacher, until she tries moving to the music and the sounds inside her head.
