 Reprint of older, out-of-print book!, November 28, 2001
By Holly R. Lagasse (Alexandria, VA USA)

If you already own 'Angelina's Birthday Surprise', don't buy this book! It is identical in every way. I know because I purchased both to complete my daughter's Angelina book collection, since there we no details on either book at the time. It is another cute Angelina book. This one is about Angelina having a bicycling accident which ruins her old bike, then getting a new one as a surprise birthday gift after working hard to earn the money to purchase it herself.

Wonderful, January 22, 2002
By Kurt A. Johnson (North-Central Illinois, USA)

In this next book in the Angelina Ballerina series, Angelina prepares for her birthday. However, getting into a bike race with her Alice, Angelina hits a rock and damages her bike beyond repair. When her mother suggests that she can work to raise the money for a new bike, Angelina throws herself wholeheartedly into her work, and birthday are such wonderful times... Such a wonderful book! I do love Katherine Holabird's work! Although I should say hers, and Helen Craig's, for the illustrations do make this book come so alive. My daughter and I love this book, and recommend it to you.

Angelina loved her bicycle and rode it everywhere. Her best friend was Alice. This year for her birthday they were going to have a picnic. Angelina and Alice went to the village to buy some decorations for her party. On the way back they raced, and Angelina hit a rock and crashed. She hurt her leg and ruined her favorite bike. Angelina and Alice started doing odd jobs to earn money so Angelina could buy a new bike. They mowed grass, picked apples, hung laundry, watered the garden, planted raspberries and strawberries, and washed floors. Angelina still didnt have enough money to buy a bike. On their walk back from the village to buy more balloons, Angelina saw the best bike ever in the window of the bicycle shop and she wished she had enough money to buy it. The day of her party came and Angelina received hair ribbons, books, a ballerina, and a silver horn for her new bike. Everyone had pitched in to buy Angelina the bike she had wanted. She was so surprised and decided to take everyone on a bicycle ride through the hills. I think this was a good book because Angelina worked to buy herself a new bike, and in the end everyone realized how hard she had worked so they decided to get her it for her birthday. ~ Katelyn Carson

 very cute book, December 13, 2008
By S. Tlachac

Angelina Ballerina books are wonderful books. My grand daughter who is 4 reads and I purchased some for her. She takes dance class and loves ballet. The whole idea of a mouse that dances makes it cute.

Another Angelina Success, May 23, 2007
By Veronika Kardosh (Israel)
|
|
Like all of the "Angelina Ballerina" series, this one is beautifully illustrated and has content interesting to pre-schoolers, including the idea that children can do some work to earn something they really want. Angelina and her friend Alice have set-backs and successes with, of course, a happy and satisfying ending.
Unlike previous books, however, the cover has shiny silver among the lovely pastel colors making it a must-touch book among others on the shelf. "Angelina" is my granddaughters' favorite book but they are too young to write their own reviews so I have done it for them.

Angelina ballerina, January 9, 2010

My grand daughter, who is 6, loved the book. She loves ballet, and the fact that Angelina is a mouse didn't seem to bother her. She has gone back to read it several times.

Angelina's Birthday is a sweet book. My little 4 year old loves the ups and down of Angelina's little life and that she makes it out alright. Of course that there is some ballet involved always helps :) It is a nice little book.

A sweet birthday story featuring adorable mice!, April 16, 2012
By Z Hayes (TX, USA)

Angelina Ballerina is one of my seven-year-old's favorite book characters, and she has loved the stories since she was a preschooler. I was so happy to discover that she still appreciates these stories centering on a young mouseling named Angelina, who aspires to be a prima ballerina.
In Angelina's Birthday, Angelina is looking forward to her upcoming birthday party but her spirits are low when her beloved bicycle gets broken during a bike race with her best friend, Alice. Undaunted, Angelina is determined to save enough money from working and chores, and she is helped by Alice. Will the mouselings save enough money for Angelina to buy the coveted new red bike she spies in the bike store? There are many positive messages in this darling story for young children.
The beautifully-detailed illustrations are part of the appeal of this lovely story and I consider these books classics of children's literature as their charm is perennial.
