Nellie Sue is back with brand-new dancing boots and her usual cowgirl flair. She knows that dancing would be more fun with friends, but her new neighbors, the Glitter Girls, would rather pirouette and twirl than hoedown. Nellie decides to throw a Barnyard Bash and invite the whole neighborhood. With her big imagination, Nellie transforms her garage into the perfect place to do-si-do. Soon everyone is joining in, but could a slip, a trip, and a slide cause her big bash to be a big messy flop?

More About the Author
Rebecca Janni learned early on that biking was the best way to get around the neighborhood and reading was the best way to get around the world. On a bus ride home from school, Rebecca confided to a friend that she was working on a novel about a girl and her horse. She never finished the novel, but a horse of a different hoof shows up in Every Cowgirl Needs a Horse and Every Cowgirl Needs Dancing Boots, both published by Dutton Children's Books. Rebecca has two more picture books forthcoming and lots of other projects on her desk, including a middle grade novel without any horses. She has a master's degree in English education and has taught high school and college English and creative writing. Today, she divides her time between volunteering, adjunct teaching, and writing -- all of which take a back seat to motherhood! She lives in Iowa with her husband, four children, Greg the Gecko, and a big-hearted dog named Mickey. She loves to read and bike with her family, but not at the same time.

Format:Hardcover
Spunky Nellie Sue has a brand new pair of dancing boots. But, as everyone knows, it's not any fun to dance by yourself. So she sets off in search of friends on her "two-wheeled horse" Beauty. When she can't get the attention of the new "glitter girls" in her neighborhood, Nellie Sue takes the bull by the horns and organizes a hoedown. Young readers will love Nellie Sue's cowgirl drawl and the way she uses both her plucky spirit and vivid imagination to turn every day into a special event. With its lively, colorful illustrations and enticing language, EVERY COWGIRL NEEDS DANCING BOOTS will stand up to many, many readings. Highly recommended!

I bought this as a Christmas gift for my friend's almost four year-old daughter. She is obsessed with her pink cowgirl boots so when I found this gift I knew it was perfect. Cute book for every little cowgirl!

Nellie Sue has brand new dancing boots, but doesn't have anyone to dance with. It's no fun to dance by yourself, she complains. Mom suggests she could make friends with the new girls across the street. Nellie Sue looks, but they are all glittery and wearing ballet clothes. But she tries anyway and rides her two-wheeled horse over and asks if they would like to go riding. "Not in ballet slippers," they answer. Nellie Sue was pretty unhappy, but then she had a great idea. She sent out invitations, cleaned and decorated, and made refreshments, and waited ... and waited. Will anyone come? Will the Glitter Girls take a shine to Nellie Sue? Will Nellie Sue have anyone to dance with?
This charming follow up to //Every Cowgirl Needs a Horse// will delight young readers. Lively illustrations are the perfect complement to the twangy voice of Nellie Sue and this sweet story of a lonely cowgirl.
