Pearl Goes to Preschool

Pearl’s mother runs a dancing school, and Pearl is the youngest of her dancers. Even though she is so little, she can keep up with the other dancers and count her positions. Pearl loves to dance and loves her school. One day her mother tells her it’s time for Pearl to go to preschool, but Pearl says she already goes to school and doesn’t see any reason to change that. Her mother tells her all the things she can learn at preschool and all the different things she can do there. Finally, Pearl decides to give it a try. There are lots of other children at the preschool; along with them, Pearl paints, builds, plays music, dresses up, and more. But is it enough to make Pearl want to stay?
