What I loved about this book is the fact that Harriet was so forgiving. She allowed the butterflies to dance with her even though they did not extend the same kindness or courtesy. Excellent lesson!

Featured in a dance themed story time I attended with my 2 year old!

The illustrations are adorable, and the story is cute. This would work well for a storytime about feelings or being kind, too.

Adorable illustrations, but the text was just so-so for me. The text felt a little long, and I think the story could have been distilled down to the essentials. For example, I don't think we needed to meet everyone Harriet saw on the way to her friend's house--they crop up again at the end of the story but I don't think they were necessary to tell the story.
