Little girls can be very determined, especially about such important things as what to wear in ballet class. Alicia is no exception. Dancers need tutus, she believes, and Alicia needs one right away. When Alicia learns that grandma is sending a present, she's sure the tutu is on its way. Mom keeps warning her that it's a new bed so that her younger brother Josh can have her old one, but determined ballerinas have no time for such input, and Alicia remains unconvinced. Everything works out eventually, and Alicia learns an important lesson in the process. --Amazon summary
