The story is one with a good message about not giving up on one’s dreams, as well as one a lot of little girls can probably relate to.  There’s this little bunny who loves to twist and jump and whoosh around her bedroom and really wants to be a ballet dancer, but when she makes the effort to pursue lessons she meets repeated folks who insist there are no bunnies in the ballet.  With persistence she sticks with it, and with the help of one instructor who believes in her she makes it to the the dance of the sugar plum fairy in the Nutcracker, and astounds them all.  Some of the illustrations are really fun and appealing, but they seem a bit inconsistent — some look sloppy and ill executed and off-putting.
