Bookroo's summary

Angelina Ballerina wins tickets to a royal ballet but faces a dilemma when no friends can join her. As she searches for a companion, letters reveal surprises that thrust her into the limelight.

From the publisher

This classic Angelina Ballerina padded novelty picture book about an incredible invitation is back in a beautiful, refreshed edition with lovely letters, tickets, and a fold-out mini poster inside! When Angelina Ballerina wins two tickets to a special royal production of the Cindermouse ballet, she is so excited, but it turns out that none of her friends are free to join her. Angelina looks for someone to share the performance with her in this sweet story that is told partly in printed letters and notes to and from Angelina and her friends in Chipping Cheddar–and even from royalty! As readers open the envelopes and see what’s inside, the story takes an exciting twist that puts Angelina center stage. There is even a small poster readers can hang on their wall to inspire them to keep dancing, just like Angelina! (c) 2025 Helen Craig Ltd and Katharine Holabird. The Angelina Ballerina name and character and the dancing Angelina logo are trademarks of HIT Entertainment Limited, Katharine Holabird, and Helen Craig.
