My four year old absolutely loves this book! She loves to try all the dance steps that Angelina and her friends are doing (and it's neat because it shows you how to do them.) There is also a tear-out section in the back from which my daughter was able to assemble a little book of her own. If you've got an Angelina fan, she'll enjoy this book!

My nine-year-old granddaughter is just starting ballet, with the help of me, her long-ago dancer "Nana." These Angelina Ballerina books make perfect gifts for her - thank you for making lots of t hem! We got this one first, before her first class, so that she could see some of the "steps."
Since then I have given her more, and in fact just ordered another one. She always loves them, and so do I. The illustrations are charming, and there is a nice moral in most of them.

Review by Janet Knori, author of Awakening In God

Great book! I don't know enough to teach my 4 year old ballet, so I narrate for her living room ballet class by reading the book aloud. I love the fact that it shows me how to pronounce the names of various ballet steps. Plus the descriptions of the steps are good enough that I can help her learn some. The flip book is a fun extra, but don't buy the book for that as it is hard for little hands to 'flip' the pages. Use ribbon to tie it together (with knot) so it's safe for younger kids too.

This is an adorable book, but I don't know what the publisher was thinking when they attached the casing of ribbons to the front cover. The only way to remove the plastic casing causes a big, circular tear to the cover! I would not have ordered this book had there been any indication that it would come with packaging on the cover. Buy the hardcover!

Awesome book. This is one of my 3 year old daughter's favorite books. She does the poses, the stretching - becomes very proud of herself as she involves herself with the book. We first read it before she began her ballet class. Now, this is one of her many favorite ballet books.

The book arrived in perfect condition, and is as fun as all of the other Angelina books.

I love the Angelina Ballerina video series. They inspire young dancers while teaching them the life skills necessary for the art.

I ordered a number of these books to give to my daughter's birthday party attendees as a thank you gift. The story matched perfectly with her Ballernia party theme. It walks you through a typical ballet class and mentions all the primary ballet moves so the girls could relive what they experienced at the ballerina party when they read the book. The additional flip book that comes with the book provides a craft that the girls can do with their moms or dads.

Excellent book. I bought it for a friend of the family who is about to start a ballet class and she was ecstatic. Is this just like my class?, she kept saying. Yep, I said just like it. She likes to keep it by her side.
