Here is an improved version with a bit more detail, written as a short book review and still suitable for a child: --- “I loved the part where Delphie and Sugar rescued the Nutcracker from King Rat and his mice. It made me feel happy and joyful. The story was exciting and fun to read, and I enjoyed every part of it. I really like this book because the ballet shoes are magical and take Delphie on amazing adventures. Delphie was very brave, kind, and helpful, which made me like her even more. The story is full of magic, friendship, and courage, and it kept me interested from beginning to end. I would recommend this book to my friends because it is fun, magical, and easy to read. I wish I had magic ballet shoes like Delphie so I could help people too! What about you?”

Delphie wanted to go to ballet classes but her parents couldn't afford it. So she learned at home and read books about it. 1 snowy day she saw a ballet class.

I really enjoyed this book.It is very interesting and it is making my mind very imaginative .Since l’ve read this book I have been writing a lot of stories and it makes me want to be a ballerina and dance in a theatre with lots of different people in it I am very excited to read the next book.The reason why I have rated it 4 is it doesn’t have a lot of details. I would definitely recommend this book like my sister recommended to me. I also love the characters in it .I would recommend this for ages 6-9.

I love this book because I like ballet. I liked Delphine, Madame Zarakova and Sugar the Fairy. It's very magical when the red ballet shows take Delphine to Enchantia and enjoyed the adventure defeating King Rat.

I really enjoyed this book, my favourite character in this is Lola as she was very welcoming to Delphie when she joined the ballet school. She was really kind. I'm looking forward to reading the rest of the series.
