If you love Noel Streatfeild’s Ballet Shoes, you’ll adore The Bell Family.
‘Well, little people, what’s the news?’
Meet the big, happy Bell family who live in the vicarage at St Marks.
Father is a reverend; Mother is as kind as kind can be. Then there’s all the children – practical Paul, dancing Jane, mischievous Ginnie, and finally the baby of the family, Angus, whose ambition is to own a private zoo (he has already begun with his six boxes of caterpillars). And not forgetting Esau, a surefire competitor for the most beautiful dog in Britain.
Follow their eventful lives from tense auditions to birthday treats; from troubled times to hilarious escapades. The perfect Christmas gift for ballet-loving children.
Includes exclusive material: In the Backstory you can find out which one of the Bell children you most resemble!

It was a bit boring to start off with but then it picked off.

I really liked this book because you got an insight into the life of the Bell family. They face issues especially with the family's money because they cannot afford any luxuries that they desire. They also feel like their outer family will judge them wrongly about not being able to afford things. The children also try to decide on their future ahead of them. I think that children should read this book if they like books about funny events and also about how children might see the world.
