A PARADE BEST KIDS BOOK OF ALL TIME

Pauline, Petrova, and Posy love their quiet life together. They are orphans who have been raised as sisters, and when their new family needs money, the girls want to help. They decide to join the Children's Academy of Dancing and Stage Training to earn their keep. Each girl works hard following her dream. Pauline is destined for the movies. Posy is a born dancer.

    • The Horn Book

      January 1, 1991
      Streatfeild's well-known story of three poor adoptive sisters who are trained as dancers and actresses in order to support the family has not worn well. The details of stage life are interesting, but the background is unbelievable; the tone is pretentious; and the illustrations are jarringly unattractive.
