Dancing Shoes (The Shoe Books) [Streatfeild, Noel] on desertcart.com. *FREE* shipping on qualifying offers. Dancing Shoes (The Shoe Books)

Review: Great Book for Young Dancers - Great book for young dancers! I'm making tee shirts to go along with the theme of the book so the person being gifted can wear it as they read the book just for fun.
Review: Another Noel Streatfield Triumph - I bought this copy of Dancing Shoes as a replacement for a copy I had read to pieces (paperbacked books for children are not, for some reason, made to last a lifetime). I have loved Ms. Streatfield's books since I first encountered Ballet Shoes when I was 10 years old. It is true that every one of her books follows the same plot -- a number of related children working toward careers: one is competent and achieves expected success, one is ordinary, and one is an unexpected and unlooked for genius (after spending most of the book as the one whom no one believes will amount to anything.) The setting for Dancing Shoes is a school for children trained to dance in troupes on the stage, where two adopted sisters are taken to live with their Aunt who runs the place, and her obnoxious, spoiled daughter who gets a satisfying and hefty face plant at the end that even at 10 years old I thought "Serves her right." A good book from another era, starring normal children; no vampires, no aliens, no anorexia, divorce, murder or horror.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ More charm and fun in this installment of the Shoes books
*by K***N on May 25, 2006*

Dancing Shoes is a similar formula compared to Streatfeild's other books. After Rachel and Hilary's father dies, they are sent to live with their Aunt Cora, who owns a talent school and troupe. While Hilary is a very talented dancer, she wants nothing more than to have fun. Her sister, Rachel wants nothing to do with dancing, but she does want Hilary to go to the Royal Ballet School to study proper ballet, as her family and old dance teacher wished for, even though Hilary doesn't want to. So everyone, including their mean and selfish Aunt Cora, believe that Rachel is jealous of Hilary. Meanwhile, Aunt Cora's talented, and conceited, daughter now has competition with Hilary. The book is full of the same charm as her others. While not as endearing as Ballet Shoes and Theater Shoes, maybe only due to the nastiness of Aunt Cora and how mean she is to Rachel, it is still a wonderful read. Any fans of Streatfeild's other books will surely love this book as well.
