Gr. 3-5, younger for reading aloud. These attractive books from The Magic of Ballet series tell the stories of major ballets. Each volume features fairly large type, decorative borders, and Emma Chichester Clark's richly atmospheric paintings. An appendix in each book traces the ballet's history, music, choreography, and related matters such as dance notations. Geras presents the story of Sleeping Beauty in a graceful, original manner, through the first-person narration of four characters: two fairies, Prince Florimund, and Princess Aurora. Stripped of the emotional content of music, gesture, and dance as well as costume and staging, this moving ballet becomes comparatively uninvolving. Still, with a bit more text than typical picture-book retellings, all the volumes in this series will be helpful to middle-graders attending a ballet performance. Carolyn Phelan
