Customer Reviews

If you like Angelina, you will love this
I purchased this pop-up book for my friend's daughter for Christmas and she absolutely loved it. She was already a fan of Angelina Ballerina through the book series and enjoyed the more interactive elements the pop-up provided. As well as an unfolding story, the book allows the reader to choose different costumes from a costume wheel for Angelina, as well as make the other characters dance and move, before opening up into a 3-D theatre stage where Angelina dances on her big opening night. Great for firing kids' imaginations, especially if they are keen on dance, and very good quality.

enchanting
an enchanting gift for any ballet-mad/Angelina-mad little girl, although I'd recommend waiting until they're about 5yrs old as there are some slightly delicate parts. The scenes are familiar to any Angelina fan, the book is interactive and the story simple, but it is the spectacular finale, combining a cleverly constructed theatre scene and music that will enchant your little ballerina.
