Kindergarten-Grade 2–In this installment in the series, the young mouse's dance teacher invites her and Cousin Henry to the Royal Palace of Mouseland, and when Miss Lilly falls ill, Angelina must teach the three young princesses a special dance. The story is simple and a bit facile. Although the language is uninspired, it provides a good backdrop for Craig's artistic expression. The artist revels in the sumptuousness of mouse palace decor and lavishes her talent on turrets, ballrooms, and bedchambers, not to mention knights in full armor and costumes and scenery for the princesses' performance. Like its predecessors, Angelina at the Palace will evoke sighs of delight from young ballet enthusiasts.–Susan Weitz, formerly at Spencer-Van Etten School District, Spencer, NY Copyright © Reed... |

PreS - Grade 1 In her latest adventure, the charming star of Angelina Ballerina (1983) and Angelina and the Princess (1984, both Potter) now grudgingly escorts little cousin Henry to the fair she would rather attend with friends. Sweet, timid little Henry is dragged from thrill ride to thrill ride until he disappears in the Haunted House. A dismayed Angelina finds him with the balloon man, and remorse brings devotion for the rest of the day. There are some wonderful scenes of the fair: the Haunted House with its facade of a ferocious cat and interiors of bats, spiders and ghosts; a terrified little Henry about to be dragged onto a high-flying roller coaster and a whirling ferris wheel. A tender story about caring, enhanced by Craig's delicate pen-and-ink and watercolor illustrations. Amy G. Gavalis, Lincoln... |

From Publishers Weekly
The heroine of Angelina Ballerina , it turns out, is as deft an entertainer twirling on ice as she is performing an onstage pas de deux. Here the spunky, diminutive mouse organizes a New Year's Eve figure skating show. With characteristic aplomb she overcomes a number of obstacles, including two pesky young hockey players who repeatedly interrupt her rehearsals. A confrontation between these "big boys" and Angelina erupts into a pond-wide snowball fight, vividly portrayed by Craig in a motion-filled, double-page illustration. This spectacle--as well as captivating depictions of both indoor scenes and the ice extravaganza--more than justifies the artist's top billing on the book's cover. But Holabird's narrative percolates steadily, and words and pictures culminate in a jubilant final scenario replete with... |

From Publishers Weekly
First published nearly 40 years ago, Zolotow's ingenuous paean to spring, a time "when everything lovely begins once again," indeed feels reborn with Craig's (Angelina Ballerina) winsome illustrations. Combining full-page spreads with smaller panels and spots, her ink, watercolor and colored-pencil art draws from a sumptuous palette of Easter egg colors that reaches full bloom at tale's end, when spring finally catches up to the lonely bunny in search of companionship. When a sleepy owl tells the solo bunny that "there are always rabbits at Easter," he attempts to hunt the place down. Youngsters will be tickled by this misunderstanding and will enjoy having a leg up on the long-eared fellow. Equally gratifying are Craig's renderings of the antics of a diminutive mouse who trails and apes the wandering bunny. In... |
