There’s a new word in Miss Bird’s dance class and it’s spelled J-A-Z-Z! Mia can’t wait to learn a whole new set of steps, to a brand-new beat! For jazz dance, Mia has to switch from her frilly tutu and pink slippers to a leotard and special jazz shoes. Mia thinks the new shoes aren’t quite as pretty as her pink slippers, and once Mia sees how fancy jazz dance is, the shoes seem even plainer! Fortunately, Mia uses her quick thinking to come up with the perfect solution to match her plain-Jane outfit to her jazzy steps.

Mia’s eighth I Can Read book is full of new moves (and words!) to help beginning readers grow.
