Angelina's Big City Ballet

Angelina’s Big City Ballet by Katharine Holabird and Helen Craig is a much-loved Angelina Ballerina picture book, newly refreshed in a beautiful hardcover edition that’s made for sharing at story time.

Angelina is off to the Big Cheese, the most famous city in Mouseland, and she’s bursting to explore its bright bustle before performing her fairy ballet. But a visit with cousin Jeanie brings a twist: Jeanie thinks tap dancing outshines ballet. As excitement builds toward the big show, the girls must navigate their different styles and figure out how to practise, listen, and work together.

Perfect for preschool and early primary readers who enjoy dance stories, big-city adventures, and gentle themes of friendship and teamwork, this classic feels both familiar and freshly presented.

Add it to your shelf for a cosy read-aloud and a little theatre magic at home.
