FROM THE CRITICS Children's Literature Emily is a sweet little bunny who takes a course in creative movement with other bunnies, a cat and a mouse. Charming illustrations in bold bright colors show what every little girl dreams of—a leotard with a tutu, ballet shoes, a barre and a piano. Some of the exercises the teacher proposes include hopping like frogs, flapping wings, leaping and spinning, and dancing with ribbons. The bunnies seem to be having a fine time, and Miss Mirabelle is a good teacher, telling Emily, "Good try!" when she is unable to copy the teacher's actions. This is a sweet book that will certainly find favor with budding ballerinas. Most of the flaps are nearly as large as the page and will be easily grasped by little hands. 2001, Puffin Books, $6.99. Ages 2 to 5. Reviewer: Candace Deisley
