Let's Dance (Ballet Bunnies #2) Swapna Reddy. Illustrated by Binny Talib. 2021. 96 pages. [Source: Library]
First sentence: Miss Luisa's School of Dance was surprisingly noisy when Millie turned up for her ballet lesson.
Premise/plot: Millie has kept up with her dance lessons despite the unfriendly welcome and the bullying. Those bunnies must be super-super cute to make up for it! In this second adventure, the school is preparing for a recital (or show). Amber the bully is sure that Millie who is absolutely new to dancing and hardly has any skills will 'ruin' the show. She is determined to find a way to keep Millie from the stage...but with a little help from the bunnies...things may be set right before the 'curtains open.'
My thoughts: I do have to say I was wrong. My first impression is that the school only had one class. I do think there are more classes and that they are determined solely and exclusively by age. Millie's class will be the 'spring fairies' carrying water-pots.
The bunnies are still super-super cute. Millie is becoming quite chummy with a classmate, Samira. And even better friends with the four bunnies.
I think for the target audience--young girls in lower elementary school--this one is cute enough and has plenty of appeal.
