2008-10-05 Much better to buy Angelina

Great if you want your kids to think you can become a ballerina - including twirling on your toes - without going to ballet class ever in your life. If this were supposed to be a complete fairy tale then fair enough, it's make believe, but there's the "ugh" moral factor lifted straight out of an Angelina story - I might add - of being nice to friends and not getting cross with them for stealing the part etc. So the author needs to make up her mind- is this a true to life moral take or complete fantasy! I would far rather read Angelina ballerina to my 3 year old as the first story says "you need to work hard for years and years and then you can become a great ballerina". I prefer the truth!
