Angelina Ballerina by Katharine Holabird
Angelina the dancing mouse has been enchanting little ballerinas for 30 years. In this larger format, anniversary paperback picture book, she will inspire a whole new generation. Angelina wants more than anything else to become a ballerina and dances all the time - even when she's supposed to be doing chores or getting ready for school. Her parents, Mr and Mrs Mouseling, are in despair - but then they think of a plan. They decide it's time for Angelina to go to ballet school! She works hard for years and years until she becomes the famous ballerina, Mademoiselle Angelina! This wonderful story - a firm favourite of little girls - has captured the hearts and minds of toddler after toddler and has already become a classic, spawning a whole library of Angelina books as well as a television series and even a musical. This new, bigger, book only underlines the incredible importance of Angelina Ballerina and celebrates her thirtieth birthday.
