Perseverance (and a little help from a friend) pay off for an aspiring young gymnast in this winning entry in the I Like to Read(R) series. Ella is in awe of Jan, the star of her gymnastics class.

But Jan is a star at friendship too; and with her encouragement, Ella tries again--and succeeds! This is the perfect book for girls learning to read. The adorable, leotard-clad young gymnasts fill the pages with action; and the story offers valuable, age-appropriate lessons in kindness, sportsmanship, and how important it is to try, try again. An I Like to Read(R) book. Guided Reading Level D.Review Quotes
"this charming tale of perseverance will have any beginning reader proclaiming, 'I did it.'"--Booklist "The energetic, multicultural girls are lively and appealing, and the narrator's initial attempts at gymnastics nicely mirror a young reader's early efforts at reading, emphasize the necessity of perseverance and include the appropriate thank you. . . . This cheery selection will bring feelings of accomplishment and security to new readers and budding gymnasts alike."--Kirkus Reviews "Pictures of jovial cartoonlike characters; large, simple text; and an encouraging message make this a solid offering for young girls just learning to read."--The Horn Book
