I purchased this Angelina book, Angelina's Christmas, based upon the success the Halloween Angelina book was with my 3 year old grandaughter. The best feature of this story is the theme of helping others by giving your time. It did not disappoint. She and I both enjoyed the pictures and the story. Angelina cared, her mom cared, and an elderly person found new energy and reason for living. A wonderful story for our time.
I think "Angelina's Christmas" is one of the best stories in the series for the Christmas spirit it embodies and promotes. Angelina spies old retired mailman Mr Bell sitting alone by his fire one evening and decides, in the spirit of Christmas, that she wants to do something special for him. Angelina, her dad and young cousin Henry bring along some baked goodies, a tree and decorations and surprise Mr Bell who reciprocates their good turn in his own special way.This is a delightful Christmas story and is beautifully illustrated by Helen Craig's almost life-like drawings that have an old world charm, capturing a fantasy world inhabited by adorable little mice. A must-read for Angelina fans and highly recommended for preschoolers and up.
If your child likes the Angelina Ballerina series, this is a great book for the holiday season.As usual, Helen Craig's beautiful illustrations accompanies the text. The story centers around a lonely ex-postman who dresses as Father Christmas. Angelina helps him become part of her school's Christmas pageant.
My daughter loves this series, even though she's only 2. This book fits right in.
My niece is into dancing and reading books, so the Angelina Ballerina series if perfect for her. I chose to give her this book for Christmas because it fit the holiday theme.
