Shannon Kay reviewed Ballet Shoes by Noel Streatfeild
Review of 'Ballet Shoes' on 'Storygraph'
4 stars
I loved this book and read it several times as a child. It's just one of those "nice" books. Like Little Women or Anne of Green Gables, it's not exciting, and maybe it's not a "grown up" classic, but the characters and journey of the story are worth reading. I've read Ballet Shoes once or twice as an adult and it definitely holds up. I ended up very involved in theatre through high school and college, so perhaps this book is why, and reading Ballet Shoes over again now makes me feel like I'm in those shows again.
