Book Description
Editorial Reviews
From Publishers Weekly
Angelina meets a new friend in Angelina and Alice by Katharine Holabird, illus. by Helen Craig. After a grand beginning, the friends go through a bumpy patch when Alice sides with some older kids who mock Angelina's handstand abilities. Luckily, Alice comes through in the end. Craig's illustrations are as winsome as ever as she chronicles the heroine's emotional roller-coaster ride.

This review is from: Angelina and Alice (Hardcover)
That's exactly what this book is. Cute. The illustrations are absolutely beautiful, and the story is enjoyable. Angelina and Alice are both mice. One day they meet each other and become friends because they both like the same things. When other kids (mice) at school begin making fun of Angelina, Alice joins in. Angelina is left with no friends, and no partner in gym. I won't tell you what happens in the end. You'll have to find out for yourself.I recommend this book to children and adults alike.

Still wonderful - 25 years later,

This review is from: Angelina and Alice (Angelina Ballerina) (Hardcover)
My mom and dad read these books to me when I was little. I believe we had Angelina Ballerina, Angelina and Alice, Angelina's Christmas, and Angelina and the Princess. I'm 28 now and these books are just as great as I remember them. Every time I spot them on my parents' bookshelf, I have to pull one out and flip through the pages.
The stories are charming but hardly arbitrary. Another reviewer mentioned the lessons in the books aren't "preachy", which is true. But the best part is the illustrations. They are so detailed, whimsical and beautiful. I remember wishing I could visit Angelina's world and when I revisit the pictures now, they're still just as beautiful. These are essential to any children's book library.

This review is from: Angelina and Alice (Angelina Ballerina) (Hardcover)
This book was on my son's reading list for school so I though alright. But I was amazed to find that he enjoyed the story. My son is autistic and can not speak or understand very well but when I finished this story he looked at me with a question and said "Mouse friends?". Now he asks for this story often at bed time. This is a good book for beginner readers and younger and I enjoyed it as well.
