Honk!
The Story of a Prima Swanerina
by Pamela Duncan Edwards
Illustrated by Henry Cole
Mimi is a swan who is in love with ballet, and more than anything she wants to attend the
ballet at the Paris Opera House. When she ends up on stage as a ballerina, Mimi's antics soon
attract a lot of attention and rocket her to fame and stardom as the first-ever swan prima
ballerina.
This is a delightful story about a swan who follows her dream to dance. It also
illustrates the idea that one can overcome almost any obstacle. In Mimi's case, her continued
determined attempts to get in and see an opera (Swan Lake), even though she was told "No!"
and "Go away!" worked out marvelously. |
