I really enjoyed reading this book! Betsy B. Little, is not so small, she was over eleven feet tall! She wanted to be a ballerina, but the ceiling was too small. She never gave up on her dreams; she decide to do ballet outside. Everyone went from tell her she should not be a ballerina, to supporting her at her outside shows! I loved this book; it encourages kids to never give up on their dreams! If there is a will, there is a way! One of my favorite lines from this book is...
"Maybe my problem's not
Being too tall.
Maybe I've just been
Dreaming too small!" ( )

This is such a great book for teaching children that it's okay to be themselves. This book about a "too-tall ballerina" can bring such a confidence to kids in pursuing their dreams. Betsy B Little was overlooked and ridiculed because she didn't meet the requirements many expected of a ballerina. But Betsy did not give up. She continued to pursue her dreams, and it turned out better than she ever would have thought. ( )

Dude. This is so freaking beautiful and lovely and adorable and meaningful. Everyone should read it. Every little dreaming child and every poor dreaming college student and every old dreaming adult. ( )

Betsy B. Little was not small at all. Everything she did was a totally disaster. Until one day when she finally went on with a dream to be a ballerina. She had a disaster one day in class and did not show back the next day. She continued dancing outside and she knew this was her best performance yet. I love the rhyming they had in the story it made it very cute. It would also teach children to never give up on their careers, but to find their own way. ( )

Everything Betsey B. Little tried to do never came easy for her. Until one day she asked her parents if she could take ballet. Even though ballet was a disaster Betsey realized it was just doing it in doors that was harder for her. Betsy decided to take her ballet act outside and from then on she was a hit. This story was extremely cute. It shows kids to keep dreaming no matter what. My favorite part of the story was the rhyming. ( )
