Product Description
All Lizzy wants is to be the best figure skater in the whole wide world. When she begins taking lessons, Lizzy discovers that ice-skating is a lot harder than it looks. Even so, she is determined to learn. And when her teacher announces that the class will be performing Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs at the winter carnival, Lizzy knows she can skate the lead. But Lizzy's dreams are shattered when she is cast as a lowly tree. She valiantly perseveres, and on the day of the show, Lizzy spontaneously leads the other "trees" in a performance no one will ever forget! Young readers will love this spunky heroine who overcomes her setbacks with imagination and humor and discovers her own special way to shine.

 My 2nd grader's bedtime favorite October 17, 2005
Lisa A. Zaharoni (Beverly Hills, CA United States)
I found this book to be thoughtfully written and illustrated. It tells the story of a girl who tries hard, practices diligently and dreams big to be an champion figure skater. But when her class puts on the show of Snow White on ice, she is cast as a tree. The illustrations do a beautiful job of capturing her bitter disappointment. In the end she makes the best of the situation and has a victory in overcoming her sadness and making her part as a tree be fun and unexpected. I appreciate that the lesson of the tale is to make the best of an imperfect situation. I find that the books, like this one, that realistically portray my daughters' real life difficulties realistically are their first reading choices at bedtime.

twirls and lutzes? No such thing as twirls and lutzes aren't for kids who have never skated. There are so many basics to be learned that all children will be doing is hopping and gliding and ducking for a while!
