This beautifully illustrated book comes with a grey plush hamster who certainly can dance as well as any of the ballerinas in the story.  The drawings show scenes from The Sleeping Beauty, Petrouchka, Les Sylphides, Swan Lake, Coppelia, Giselle, The Rite of Spring, Romeo and Juliet, Cinderella, and The Nutcracker as performed by hamsters.  The book has no dust jacket, just a beautiful gold embossment on the front and binding.   Book written by Janis Mitchell, and accompanied by a Hamster ballerina.
