Book Description
Trixie finds her feet and steps out in style!
Product Description
Naughty Toes is narrated by a little girl called Trixie. At the start of the story she compares herself to her sister, Belinda, who is, we are told, a ballerina. Trixie, however, is not. And we go on to discover Trixie's anti-ballet tendencies in the dancewear she picks out at the shop, the dismay her unconventional technique elicits from her stern teacher, Madame Mina, the way she does her hair, eats an ice-cream, and the part she is given in the end-of-term show - a rock! But Trixie does have talents, even if they don't quite fit the rules of a ballet class, and it's the class pianist, Mr Tiempo, who can see that Trixie would rather be doing a toe-tap than a twirl. Trixie is full of free-spirited energy and she knows her own mind. At the end of the book, we discover how the contents of a mysterious box - left backstage for Trixie after the end-of-term show - allow her to step out and shine . . . as a tap dancer!

My brother bought this book for my 3 year old daughter and she absolutely loves it. The storyline is easy to follow, easy to relate to and a lovely read. The illustrations are unusual but very engaging.
We read this book every night for weeks when she first received it and is still a firm favourite. I would recommend this book to any budding young dancers...it is very cute.

Trixie and Belinda are two very different sisters, especially when it comes to ballet. Belinda is a born dancer, but poor Trixie is not. Even her hair isn';t like a ballerina's (and in a lovely twist, it's Dad who does the girls' hair!). But Mr Tiempo, the piano player, sees that Trixie can shine, and gives her a gift which uses her gifts. A reassuring story about the fact we are all good at something and we can't shine at everything. The delicate and detailed illustrations are a little out of the ordinary and echo the story beautifully.

Great story about being yourself!

I just received this book as a gift for my daughter. It is very funny, with a sweet and simple story line. The message is one of embracing difference and marching to the beat of your own drum (sort of literally). I came on the site to order one for each of the little dancers in my life. It is a great message for little girls!

Chloe is not a ballerina but her sister Belinda is. Belinda shops for pink and white leotards for ballet class, Chloe does not. Madame Mina, the teacher says Belinda has good toes, but Chloe does not. Chloe has naughty toes. Chloe finds that she does not dance to the same beat as all the others in the ballet class. She flays her arms wildly when she should be graceful. Instead of joining the others who are graceful, she is the rock who must stand still during the performance. Chloe does not know what the future of dance will hold for her, but perhaps Madam Mina does. Kids, parents and homeschoolers will love this softly illustrated tales of dancing and perhaps not quite fitting in.
