Originally published in 1937, this is a chapter book loved by generations. We (currently) have an aspiring professional ballerina in our family so this book is wonderful to read to get an idea of just how much *work* is involved to achieve your dreams.

The Year I Didn't Go to School
Submitted by SarahKate on Fri, 11/09/2007 - 19:05.SarahKate's Notes:
"When I was seven, I didn't go to school for a whole year. Instead
I went away to Italy with my parents, my little sister Chloe, four huge
steamer trunks filled with puppets, masks, and musical instruments,
my stuffed panda Samantha, and a journal to keep track of all that
happened. Our own tiny theater company, The Mystic Paper Beasts, was
going on tour." This is a true story and Giselle's drawing from her
journal at age 7 are included on the back page. Our girls have loved hearing it over and over for years.

These are the best things that happened to me the year I didn't go to school:
- Traveled around Italy with my family's theatre troupe.
- Performed in a theatre outside. (I was a monkey, a panda, and a lion!)
- Ate spaghetti with fried egg on top.
- Slept in a truck.
- Wove cowboy boots.
- Ciao! (I spoke Italian.)
- Kept a journal to remember everything that happened.

This lyrical romp through the orchestra begins with animal musicians slowly gathering for the evening performance. Poetic descriptions suggest the sounds of the instruments, and lively watercolor illustrations capture the playful essence of each musician and musical instrument. “It’s a smashing introduction to classical music, and a must prior to a first visit to the symphony.”--Publishers Weekly
