Review by Booklist Review
Mia, a young kitty ballet dancer, is excited that her class is going to see her sister, Ava, a real ballerina, perform onstage. Afterward, they get a chance for Ava to help them with their dance moves. Ava doesn't help Mia, though, and that hurts. When Mia finally confesses why she's sad, Ava tells her, I already know you're a star. The text is oh-so-simple, but Farley sprinkles it with star power and inserts heartfelt emotion. The adorable artwork, featuring a hippo, porcupine, and giraffe as potential ballerinas, brings smiles. Right on target for dancing dreamers.--Cooper, Ilene Copyright 2010 Booklist

Review by Horn Book Review
Mia the ballerina kitten is back in two easy-to-read stories: when a friend needs help practicing her solo, Mia comes to her rescue (Daisy); Mia's class sees her big sister Ava perform, but she feels left out when Ava doesn't watch her dance during a special teaching session afterward (Big Sister). Simple dance vocabulary and colorful, twirl-packed illustrations are equally pleasing. Glos.
