PreSchool-Grade 2-In this latest installment in the series, the endearing mouse is off on a camping trip to the Big Cat Mountains with her cousin Henry and Uncle Louie. Arriving at their destination, the youngsters are assigned the chore of gathering firewood. Not surprisingly, they find exploring much more to their liking and forget all about the task at hand. Night falls and the two realize that they are lost in the woods. Scary sounds and shadows appear, rain pelts down, and there is concern that Big Cat itself may make an unwelcome appearance. However, Angelina is up to the challenge and frightens the creature away when it arrives. Soon after, Uncle Louie finds the duo. They spend the night recounting their adventure and promising never to run off again. The illustrations are typical Craig-light and whimsical with lots of detail. The picture of Henry and Angelina dancing around the campfire while their uncle plays the squeeze box is especially appealing. With PBS broadcasting the "Angelina" series, this book is sure to be popular.

An Outdoor Adventure for Angelina Fans,
By Scott D Gauss (Winfield, IL United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Angelina and Henry (Angelina Ballerina) (Hardcover)
This is a different Angelina book, when she and Henry have an outdoor adventure camping with Uncle Louie. After wandering into the woods, Angelina and Henry have to face their fears after dark. If your child is an Angelina fan they'll enjoy another story with Angelina and Henry. If they are new to Angelina, start with the first story Angelina Ballerina.

Not our favorite,
By Mom2Three (California) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Angelina and Henry (Angelina Ballerina) (Mass Market Paperback)
This is a cute book with pretty illustrations, but the story line seems a little strange to me. Angelina and Henry get left out alone all night while camping after they wander away from their campsite. There is a big storm and they get soaked. Pretty traumatic. But they just head back to their site the next day and things seem back to normal! I was waiting for a little more discussion after they returned...and maybe some warnings about not wandering away when you go camping!

Another fun Angelina book,
By Lorri "Mother of small children" (Grand Rapids, MI) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Angelina and Henry (Angelina Ballerina) (Hardcover)
My 2 1/2 year old daughter just loves this book and asks to be read it again and again. She enjoys all of the Angelina Ballerina book but this is one of her favorites. Because she herself if little she identifies with Henry and enjoys any books that he is in. She also likes the references to "Big Cat," the scary character in the book who may just be part of the imagination's of the young mice. This book seems to be just scary enough to thrill her while not being so scary that she cannot tolerate the storyline. I do not know how an older child would feel about this book, but my daughter loves it.
