Angelina Ballerina - Katharine Holabird

Angelina Ballerina - the much loved story by Katharine Holabird and Helen Craig

Angelina is a pretty little mouse who wants more than anything else to become a ballerina. She dances all the time - even when she's supposed to be doing chores or getting ready for school. Her parents, Mr and Mrs Mouseling, are in despair - but then they think of a plan. They decide it's time for Angelina to go to ballet school - she works hard for years and years until she becomes the famous ballerina Mademoiselle Angelina!

Katharine Holabird went to Bennington College in Vermont, USA, and spent three years as a journalist in Italy. She has been writing the Angelina books since 1983 and now lives in London with her family.
