Praise
Praise for Vampirina Ballerina:
“Readers will applaud this elegantly designed, well-told story. Brava, indeed.”
—Kirkus
“Pham and Pace are entirely in sync in this sweetly goth “how to” for vampirettes.The underlying messages are familiar….But seldom have these lessons been expounded with so much charm.”
—Publishers Weekly
“Pace’s funny, matter-of-fact advice…works in harmony with Pham’s expressive watercolor pen-and-ink artwork….Kids who aren’t into frilly will welcome this departure from typical ballerina books.”
—Ann Kelley, Booklist
“Vampirina is just as endearing in her devotion to ballet as Katharine Holabird’s dancing mouse in the popular “Angelina Ballerina” series (Viking). This story of perseverance and determination will appeal to young dancers, who will identify with Vampirina’s struggles and cheer her on as she ultimately takes her triumphant bow on the flower-strewn stage.”
—Linda L. Walkins, SLJ
“Pham’s illustrations steal the show, offering plenty of visual jokes for both vampire fans…and balletomanes….[T]he message that passion, dedication, and patience have beautiful results is inspirational for any reader.”
—Katie Bircher, Horn Book
