The art is perfectly charming. The story, on the other hand, is rather predictable.One fairly major problem I have with the story is this: One of the "problems" caused by Angelina's love of ballet is that "she twirled and spun across the playground so fast that none of the little boys in her class could catch her, and they were all very cross," and when the problem is solved, "she even let the boys catch her on the playground sometimes."Having said that, I must add that my three-year-old adores the book and wants to hear it over and over.
