Praise for Princess Posey and the First Grade Ballet

PRAISE FOR Pricess Posey and the Christmas Magic:

"Posey is a delightfully imperfect little first-grader . . . . Greene continues to develop winning characters in realistic situations. No wand needed--pure magic for emerging readers."--Kirkus, starred review

"A warm family story with a likeable, kindhearted protagonist."--Horn Book

MORE PRAISE FOR POSEY:

"Greene doesn't miss a step. Posey is the perfect fictional friend for any first-grade girl."--Kirkus Reviews
"Greene's simple writing style and straightforward plot is ideal for advanced first graders or beginning second-grade readers."--School Library Journal

"It is an impressive feat when just a few short sentences can relay the complicated relationship dynamics as perceived by a first-grader, but Greene does it again and again as she chronicles Posey's emotional endeavors with tenderness and compassion. Pitch-perfect in tone and and spot-on with age-appropriate issues..."--BCCB
