Product Description

Review
'The writing is crisp and clear, the illustrations detailed with a lovely sense of movement and emotion' Guardian 'Angelina has simply charmed her way into becoming a modern children's classic ...' Publishers Weekly 'Angelina is a magical character who fulfils every little girl's dreams' Darcey Bussell, OBE

Angelina is delighted when she wins two tickets to the gala performance of Cindermouse. She can't wait to invite someone to join her, but all her friends are busy! Imagine her delight when she is called by the Royal Ballet's director to fill in for an injured ballerina! With envelopes to open and special letters inside, this is the perfect novelty for all young Angelina fans.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great childrens book, 28 Jan 2004
By J. G. Cooper (Cheshire United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book captures the imagination of children. Our daughters spend hours taking out the invitations, wearing the 'gift' necklace and going over the story again and again. It is a beautiful book to read to children, and also for children to read for themselves. It is a book that comes out again and again for us to read, and we are not yet bored of it! I would recommend it to anyone with girls, or boys who are interested in ballet (our 3 year old is!!) Enjoy it.

5.0 out of 5 stars My daughter's favourite book, 14 Oct 2004
By Shady Tree (Herts, UK) - See all my reviews
  
What a lovely book. I held-off buying this for a while as I was unsure from other literature whether this was a story, or a set of stationery (invitations, notelets etc.). However, once I'd seen a copy and realised it was another of the wonderful Angelina stories, we bought it straight away and when I saw the delight on my 5 yr old daughter's face when we read it, I was so glad we splashed out. In a nutshell, it's another Angelina story in which Angelina wins tickets to the Mouseland Royal Ballet performance of "Cindermouse". She then visits various friends and family to invite them to the ballet but sadly they all have reasons why they can't attend. They also - and this is the real novelty of this book - have letters, appointment cards or invitations from other mice to explain why they can't attend. Unfolding the letters and reading them in the voices of the various characters never fails to delight, and the best surprise of all is in the last envelope; a good luck card from Mr and Mrs Mouseling containing a present for Angelina (and, you guessed it, a real necklace for your little ballerina). Buy this book - you won't regret it. It's an absolute treasure.

5.0 out of 5 stars A lovely book, 4 Feb 2004
By K. Pringle (Northants, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
What a great book. The envelopes contain letters, cards, tickets for the ballet and even a little 'good luck charm' necklace. The illustrations are lovely with lots of detail. My daughters (3yr and 5yr) love it. Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars my daughter's favourite book
I can't overstate how much my three-year-old LOVES this book. The plot's pretty basic and overly-sugary. Read more

5.0 out of 5 stars Perfect for every little ballerina!!
This is a lovely book that my daughter adores. She loves opening each envelope, taking out the cards and helping me read what is on them. Read more
