Synopsis

When he takes shelter in a theater, a young mouse meets a prima ballerina and learns that he was born to dance.

After barely escaping a hungry cat, the mouse is startled to find a grand old theater, brightly lit and filled with music. Enchanted by the sound, he finds himself inspired to dance.  He sets to work finding a spot where the humans of the theater won't trouble him, determined to make this place his new home.

But when he discovers a cozy, wool-lined satin bed—a ballerina's toe shoe—the tiny creature also finds a new friend. Céleste, the ballerina, names him Tendu and offers him a safe place to settle—and a new dance partner to practice with!

With softly colored illustrations, Jennifer Bell's mouse-eye view of the theater is luxuriously detailed, from the ornate chandeliers to the carefully-organized clutter of the costume department to the rose wallpaper of the dancer's dressing room.  The cozy warmth of Tendu's new home is as irresistable as the tiny bow-bedecked dancer himself.  

Filled with all the drama of a ballet, this story is perfect for aspiring dancers.
