A fun and adorable Step 1 early reader about a girl's love for her tutu—and the companion book to the top-selling I Love Pink!

A girl loves her tutu so much, she wants to wear it everywhere! To school, to soccer, to art class, to swimming lessons. . . . Wait! That's not a good idea. Really, the best place to wear a tutu is ballet class! This simple story is funny and fun to decode, and many parents will see their strong-willed, self-dressed child in our tutu-loving protagonist.

Young readers will LOVE the companion books too! I Love Pink!, I Love My Grandma!, and I Love Cake!
