 Nini loves ballet. She loves her tutu, her ballet shoes and the smooth floor where she dances. She loves the ballet moves. Ballet is over for the season and mom has signed Nini up for baseball. Nini does not want to play baseball, she wants to dance ballet. She has a bad attitude about baseball. Coach tells her that sometimes professional athletes take ballet lessons. Ballet helps them play ball better. Will Nini try doing better at baseball?

Such a cute story. Nini has great support from her mother, the coach and the other kids on her team. I loved the book and the story of Nini. Sometimes we do things we really do not want to do and we might even enjoy it, if we just try. A good motivational book to help children try new things.
