Critics Review
“Ballet Shoes is one of my all-time favourite children’s books–and you don’t have to be a ballet fan to enjoy it.” –Dame Jacqueline Wilson“The dramatization is outstanding as the girls discover Pollyanna-like lessons without ever coming across as preachy. An excellent introduction to a full-cast listening experience.” –AudioFile
