Editorial Reviews

When Angelina finds a lucky penny, she decides she doesn’t need to practice for an important audition. But when she loses the penny, she realizes that practice makes perfect after all. With Angelina’s support, Alice enters a gymnastics championship and learns to persevere as she overcomes her fear of the balance beam. Angelina also lends a helping hand to her new friend, Anya, a harvest mouse who is down on her luck, and to her grandpa as she searches for his lost war medal. It’s a lucky day for everyone in Angelina Ballerina: The Lucky Penny!

This review is from: Angelina Ballerina - The Lucky Penny [VHS] (VHS Tape)

Four stories from the PBS television series. In each tale Angelina faces difficult challenges. The stories are:

The Lucky Penny - Angelina may not get the part she wants until she finds a lucky penny. But can a penny really help or is practice the answer?

The Legend of Big Paw - Angelina, Henry, her father and grandfather go camping and must face the scary tale of a giant cat and a lost war medal.

Angelina and Anya - Angelina learns that is not good to prejudge people.

The Gymnastics Competition - Alice has a chance to be in a major gymnastics competition. But she will have to overcome her fear of the balance beam is she is to have a chance of winning.

Two segments of Little Stars (live footage of children practicing ballet) show the importance of practice.

We love the stories, the music and the voice characterizations. A fun video for young girls, and some boys, with lessons for everyone.

5.0 out of 5 stars ANGELINA BALLERINA IS A HIT!!, December 25, 2008

Grandmother R (Philadelphia, PA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Angelina Ballerina - The Lucky Penny (DVD)

Charming DVD for a child. I purchased it for a two-year old girl who likes to watch DVDs, especially when mom is busy at dinner time. Of course, we always try to select something suitable. The stories are age appropriate. She requests this DVD often. It may even interest her in dancing lessons which was my primary reason for this selection.
