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.

Step 1 Readers feature big type and easy words for children who know the alphabet and are eager to begin reading. Rhyme and rhythmic text paired with picture clues help children decode the story.

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