So You Want to Be a Dancer (1979)

So You Want to Be a Dancer book cover, by William E. Thomas

So You Want to Be A Dancer by William E. Thomas is a book from 1979 that we found in our elementary school library in the late 1980s. We thought we’d never be able to make fun of the cover again, but Jackie at www.seashellbooks.com provided us with a scan. Thanks!
