What's the story?
Angelina and friends learn lessons about practice, time management, and teamwork. In "Dancing on Ice," Angelina and Alice must learn not to be so careless as they rush around to make the big ice-skating performance. In "Angelina and Alice's Big Night," best friends must learn to manage their time better to see each other in spite of being at different schools. In "Angelina's Cheese Roll," the mouselings must learn brand-new instruments and dance moves and learn how to best approach a new skill when it doesn't come naturally. In "Angelina's Lunch Table," Angelina learns how not to overcommit her time and avoid making all her friends mad at her. In "Angelina and Gracie's Creative Day," Angelina helps Gracie create an original dance after she passes off an existing one as her own.
Is it any good?
ANGELINA BALLERINA: DANCING ON ICE blends friendship and dance in a particularly instructive batch of stories. With lots of focus on the nuts and bolts of creating routines and preparing for performances, the stories also offer parallel messages about managing friendships and feelings. Here Angelina and the mouselings take pleasure in being well prepared, are diligent about being on time and doing their best, and want to please everyone, but accidents happen and messes are made. These episodes are chock-full of lessons about being original, honest, and conscientious. Ideal for preschoolers who gravitate toward the fine arts and are sorting out friendship issues of their own.
