School Library Journal Review
PreS-With a dance for every season, Katy Duck loves to "twirl like a leaf" and "stretch like a flower." But when her mother sends her for lessons, she's not so sure she wants to join in. With the help of Mr. Tutu, the duck overcomes her initial fear and joins in with her classmates. Children will relate to Katy's initial fears of performing in front of a group. Colorful, expressive watercolors of the duckling dancing outside during different seasons, and then practicing with the other animals in her class complement this simple story.-G.
