I'm really enjoying Picture Book Month, which is the first annual celebration of my favorite kind of book. As part of the celebration, I want to share with you a new book from Tiger Tales--a small independent publisher that happens to only make picture books.
Naughty Toes, written by Ann Bonwill and illustrated by Teresa Murfin, was actually first published in April 2011 by Oxford University Press in the United Kingdom. Tiger Tales then published it a few months later, in September 2011, in the United States. Here's the cast of characters from the book:
- Chloe is the narrator and main character. She dances with gusto...but not with much grace.
- Belinda is Chloe's big sister. She's a natural ballerina.
- Madame Mina is the girls' ballet teacher. She makes Belinda the star of the ballet show and casts poor Chloe as a rock!
- Mr. Tiempo plays the piano during ballet class. Chloe and her creative spirit make him smile again and again.
"Float like clouds!" says Madame Mina, and I spin around the room like a dust cloud, clap like a thundercloud, whoosh like a rain cloud...SMACK! straight into Anthony. "What were you thinking?" asks Madame Mina. "I was a cloud with gusto," I say. Before I hang my head, I think I see Mr. Tiempo smiling.
That looks so cute! Thanks for sharing.
Thanks for stopping by, Catherine! I had fun writing this post, too...and looking up the "good toes, naughty toes" video. I hadn't heard of that saying before, but it appears to be popular, at least in the UK...
