More About This Title Ballet Shoes
English
When Sylvia and her old nurse Nana agree to keep house for Gum, they know they will be looking after his fossil collection while he is away on his travels. But imagine their surprise when one day he brings them something else—three baby girls whose names all begin with 'P'! Pauline, Petrova, and Posy Fossil are not really sisters—even their surname is invented. The girls decide to "put our name in the history books because it's our very own," and enroll at the Children's Academy of Dancing and Stage Training. Each Fossil uses her individual talents to achieve their joint aim in this captivating story, now a modern children's classic.
