Customer Reviews

A fantastic book for little girls.
I bought this book for my 4 year old daughter, who attends ballet classes. She loves this book, and also enjoys watching the programme on television. The book shows children that no matter what size you are you can dance just like Angelina. Since starting school, in September, she now attempts to read some of the book herself.
A fantastic book with lovely illustrations.

Brilliant value!
