Ballet Shoes,
By Penelope Slytherin (London, England) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ballet Shoes (Hardcover)
I absolutely love this book. It has such an enjoyable plot. I think any child who has dreams of being a ballet star should read this book. It has been the best reading experience I've had in my lifetime. This book is wonderful for people of all ages. Noel Streatfeild is an excellent author, and I recommend reading all the shoe books!

This book encourages children to work to suceed,
By Laura (Akron, Ohio) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Ballet Shoes (Hardcover)
This book is about a challenge. A challenge not everyone could meet. It begins with a fossil hunter who finds more "fossils" then his niece bargained for when he brings home three orphaned girls. The girls grow up and realize that they have no true surname. They adopt the name Fossil and thus begins the story of the Fossil Family. Taking the advice of a boarder in their house, Pauline, Petrova, and Posy set out to make the name Fossil known to all. Sent to a stage school, the girls each find out their own special talent. This book helps young readers to realize in a fun way their own special gifts.

I first read this book, and Dancing Shoes, when I was about 9, and it not only got me hooked on reading, but in theatre and the arts as well!! It's given me such good memories, that I can't get wait to get hold of the rest of the Shoes series! Please somebody publish them again!!!
