Angelina, Star of the Show

Angelina is absolutely thrilled to have the chance to dance at the Mouseland Dance Festival in front of an entire audience. She practices all the way there, right aboard her grandparents' canal boat, as they concentrate on working hard. Unfortunately, she's so consumed by perfecting her performance, that she ends up wreaking havoc on board, and upsetting everything, and everyone that gets in her way. Now something terrible has happened, and it just might stop Angelina from being the star of the show. As usual Katharine Holabird and Helen Craig have created another immensely enjoyable new ANGELINA BALLERINA book. Angelina is as cute, and precocious as ever, and her antics display it wonderfully. Katharine Holabird's fast-moving, easy-to-understand language will help young readers to understand everything that is going on within the story, while Helen Craig's magnificent illustrations will let readers see all of the written words acted out. Overall, ANGELINA, STAR OF THE SHOW is a wonderful new book for children, that must be in everyone's home library. Erika Sorocco Book Review Columnist for The Community Bugle Newspaper
