Ballet of Elephants
by Leda Schubert
illustrated by Robert Andrew Parker
This fascinating historical vignette traces the paths of three famous men -- circus-owner John Ringling North, ballet-master George Balanchine and composer Igor Stravinsky -- and shows how their lives intersected to create a one-of-a-kind event.
The Circus Polka, a ballet featuring 50 elephants and 50 dancers, all in pink tutus, took place in New York City in 1942.
