Tallulah's Ice Skates — Marilyn Singer

Tallulah heads out into a winter wonderland to go ice skating and finds out that having fun is sometimes more important than being the best, in this new, snowy addition to the popular Tallulah series.

Tallulah is an accomplished ballerina, but she also loves to skate. After all, skating's a lot like ballet -- challenging, graceful, and glamorous. Tallulah is positive that with some hard work, she and her friend Kacie will be just as good on the ice as they are at dance. They'll be Super Skaters! But Kacie doesn't want to rehearse fancy moves; she wants to have fun. So Tallulah practices by herself.

That is, until an encounter with a talented boy, which ends with an embarrassing mishap. Then Tallulah begins to realize that sometimes having fun is more important than being the best, a needed message for today's goal-oriented, busy kids.
