It is time! Maud is backstage, ready to make her big debut into the world of little dancers, but her legs are quaking, her hands are sweaty, and she feels a little lightheaded. She's REALLY nervous! Kiwi and Shimmer to the rescue! Her two gerbil friends run up to her to give her a confidence boost. When her name is called, she makes her way to the big stage and realizes that it's not so bad. Dancing in front of the audience is actually quite fun! In Maud's Big Introduction, she overcomes her stage fright with the help of her friends and gets through her big performance.

This is a level-two easy reader with a little bit longer sentences and more challenging words for kids working on growing their reading skills. It is designed for the kindergarten and first grade levels. Maud's Big Introduction is perfect for kids who can pick up a picture book and read with only a little help. It has large print, a simple storyline, and words that are a little bigger! This is a fun choice, little dancers working to overcome stage fright.
