Product Description
Product Description
This magical picture book tells the story of Emily, a little girl who watches graceful skaters on an icy pond and wishes she could skate with them. She gathers her courage and gives ice skating a try, but quickly finds out how difficult it is. She struggles and wobbles, and finally loses her balance and has a fall. But Emily doesn't give up. She begins to make progress when she goes to skating class, and after much practice Emily is ready to take part in an ice dancing show. Each of this attractive book's illustrations includes tabs for young readers to pull and wheels for them to turn. These features add movement to the illustrations and animate Emily's progress as an ice dancer. The book's final two-page spread presents a spectacular pop-up, in which Emily, star of the ice dancing show, actually performs a spin before a cheering audience.

Nice pop-ups with excellent message, Feb 21 2012
By MacBeth - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Emily's Ice Dancing Show: A Sparkly Pop-Up Extravaganza! (Hardcover)
I was going to give this book only four stars, but I think the message for young girls (and everyone else) is very well done. Whenever you start something new - ice skating, piano, swimming, reading - you are going to do it badly and make embarrassing mistakes. But, if you practice and persevere, the outcome, like in Emily's case, can be very rewarding, as the last major pop-up makes clear. It's a very simple theme but I thought the story unfolded in such a gentle way that parents would have an easy time talking about practicing, listening to a teacher and gaining self confidence.
