Angelina Star of the Show (Angelina Ballerina) - Tapa dura

Practicing every minute of the day for the Mouse Land Dance Festival, Angelina's moves get in the way on her grandparents' boat when her spinning and twirling almost cause all three of them to set sail too late for the big event.

Katharine Holabird’s first Angelina Ballerina book was published in 1983. After graduating from the Francis Parker School in Chicago, Katharine attended Bennington College in Vermont. She received a B.A. in Literature from Bennington in 1969, and then worked as a literary editor at the college for a year. The following year she went to Italy, where she became a freelance journalist. In 1974, Katharine married and moved with her husband, Michael Haggiag, to London, England where she lives today with her family.
