Tanya & Red Shoe Raccoons and HawthorneTanya, the spunky little ballerina who has danced through six other books by Gauch and Ichikawa, is growing up but not as quickly as she wants to! When she sees the famous ballet The Red Shoes, Tanya wants to dance on toe, too. But everyone says "Not yet. One day, perhaps." When the day comes and it does her new point shoes are not at all what she dreamed. She feels like an elephant: clunk, clunk, clunk. Will Tanya ever make her dreams come true?
