Is It Any Good?

Our review:
Parents say (1):
Kids say (1):

ANGELINA BALLERINA is an engaging site that offers an introduction to the many intriguing Angelina Ballerina characters, which can be a great way to encourage kids to read the series. The site includes coloring pages, bookmarks, and photo frames, along with fun games that are easy to play. Not only will kids be interested in the stationary activities, but they will also enjoy moving to the music. By following Angelina's instructions they can learn different styles of dance and how to improve their techniques. Plus, the parent page has some good tips for moms and dads of dancers.

Unfortunately the site falls short with too many advertisements pushing kids to buy merchandise. Also, the construction of the site is a bit skewed; border ads hinder the view of the movie screen, interfering with some of the most fun activities offered.

Did we miss something on diversity?

Research shows a connection between kids' healthy self-esteem and positive portrayals in media. That's why we've added a new "Diverse Representations" section to our reviews that will be rolling out on an ongoing basis. You can help us help kids by suggesting a diversity update.
