Have You Seen Ballet Stories?

[August Mom]

Has anyone read/seen Ballet Stories by Barefoot Books? I'm looking for a gift for my 7-year-old niece. She loves her ballet lessons and this book looked like a possibility, but I haven't seen it IRL. What do you think if you've seen it?

I haven't read this book, but I do have a recommendation - Ballet Shoes by Noel Streatfield. It is part of a wonderful series that your niece would definitely love (I still love it and am wondering when I can start reading it to my daughter)

Sorry I couldn't help with the other book.

I'll second Ballet Shoes. It is one of my fav books from when I was little.

That looks like a beautiful book. I loved the illustrations.

And I'll give another thumbs up for Ballet Shoes. That was one of my all-time favorite books when I was younger. I also liked Dancing Shoes, which I think is by the same author.

I took ballet when I was around 7 too :) One Christmas I got a purple duffle bag with a picture of ballet shoes on it and my name underneath. I thought it was the best present ever and used it to transport my stuff to lessons.
