I feel like we've come to Angelina a bit earlier than I expected but I think that's partly due to Rosie doing
Baby Ballet and loving it. Therefore anything that involves ballet is a firm favourite. We started off with
Angelina's Christmas (which is lovely) but have since bought the first book
Angelina Ballerina.
Angelina is pretty well known. There's a new series on Milkshake with different artwork from the classic books. I haven't watched it with Rosie because I really prefer the classic books, I think there's an older TV series as well with the original artwork but we haven't watched that either.
The first book introduces Angelina and her passion for ballet. She can't think about anything else! As a consequence she's always late for school, never tidies her room and is always getting into trouble. Then her parents come up with the perfect solution. Ballet lessons! Angelina is suddenly a model mouse.
The artwork is beautiful with lots of detail and plenty of things to point out and discuss. The story is sweet, not too long to read to a two year old(!) and well told. We're looking forward to gradually collecting the rest of them!
