Customer Reviews

Damaged/Missing pieces

This book had torn pages and came without any of the inserts. There are big envelopes on some of the pages with letters to Angelina Ballerina. All of them were missing. Binding and pages are also showing wear. This boon won’t last long in our house.

Great interactive book for kids!

If you have a little girl, this is a fantastic interactive book to keep her engaged. Anything to encourage kids to read and increase their love of reading is terrific. My twins turned 5 when I bought this and I would say this book is good for kids age 3 to 7.

Clever Design! Delightful Book!

My 4-year-old daughter, who is fascinated with ballerinas, has enjoyed every Angelina book I have read to her. We were excited to find this latest story about her favorite dancing mouse. In the story, Angelina finds a large envelope containing two tickets to see Serena Silvertail perform with the Royal Ballet. But each time she asks a friend to attend with her, they have other plans! This cleverly designed book features page-sized envelopes containing actual tickets, letters, and postcards that children can pull out and read. My daughter's favorite is the large pull-out poster of the Cindermouse ballet. The only problem we have had is that my less-than-gentle 2.5-year-old daughter was also eager to enjoy this book. I've repaired a few envelopes with tape and I have to verify the pull-outs are still inside the flaps before reading the story again. Definitely recommended reading!

Lovely book for a child who loves ballet and Angelina

This book is a nice story and the pull-out tickets, letters, poster, etc. added a wonderfully fun dimension to this book. I wouldn't give this book to a child much under 4, however, unless you happen to have one that is really meticulous about keeping things nice. It would be very easy to mess up the book or lose the pull-outs, which are important to the plot. We bought this as a gift. Can't wait until my little ballerina is old enough to have it.
