Susie and the Dancing Cat (Susie the Young Ballerina #2)
by Lee Wyndham Jane MillerNo sooner had A DANCE FOR SUSIE appeared in print than letters began to arrive from mothers of young, would-be ballerinas, asking for more stories about Susie, so SUSIE AND THE DANCING CAT is pleasurably presented! The heroine is older in this follow-up yet independent story, nine, and working hard at her ballet lessons so that she can graduate into the precious pink toe shoes, the dream of every youthful dancer. How Susie achieves this end, performs in various recitals, and persuades her dancing teacher--and her doubting poodle--to adopt a stray cat, make a delightful pictured story. Here again is authentic dance school background, plus amusing situations in and out of which Susie constantly finds herself, some gentle advice on animal care, and, for parents, another helpful note, this time touching on the all-important subject of the purchasing of properly fitting toe shoes--information that will be warmly welcomed by all parents of dancing daughters--and sons. Once more the noted artist-illustrator, Jane Miller, has provided many agile and engaging drawings.
