15th March Adele Geras (1944)

Adele Geras is a prolific children's author, but in my library she is best known for her two picture books about ballet, The Ballet Class and Little Ballet Star. The girls are attracted to the pink covers and the size of the book, so Geras needs to thank Shelagh McNicholas, the illustrator and the designer for making them so attractive. Once they have read one though, they are back for another. Geras and McNicholas could do more in this series!
