Honk!: The Story of a Prima Swanerina

by Pamela Duncan Edwards · 1998

+ Want to read

A ballet-loving swan wins acclaim when she manages to join the other dancers in a performance of Swan Lake. Edward's tongue-in-cheek text pokes gentle fun at self-absorbed prima ballerinas, while Cole's bold full-bleed paintings add a wealth of humorous detail.—Kirkus Reviews.
