The Best Sleepover Ever!

My 5 year old daughter is really enjoying reading this book. She reads about 5 pages to me every night at bedtime. The book is written in a "dear diary" format and has an engaging plot with familiar characters. This book is more challenging than the typical 32 page early reader chapter books. There are some challenging vocabulary words. Some words are used repetitively. I noticed my daughter struggling to read certain words(audition, absolutely) but by the third time she saw the same word, she had mastered reading it, so that is a good thing! The pages are mostly text with some small black and white illustrations. Because of the "dear diary" format, its a nice bridge between the early reader books and more challenging chapter books. My daughter is going to have a real sense of accomplishment when she finishes this 75 page book!

My daughters love this book! It is their "tip top favorite" as the main character, Angelina, might say. It's a great book for parents to read (a short chapter or two at a time) or for a new reader who is graduating from picture books to try. A real hit in our family!

My daughter read it straight through without stopping and is looking forward to book #5.

It is a wonderful addition to her Angelina Ballerina books. She gets an inside scoop into Angelina's thought process. My daughter liked the journal that she has asked if she could start her own journal. A Must Buy for the Angelina fans.
