This is a story from the popular Angelina Bellerina series of children's picture books. In this book Angelina is on a boat ride with her Grandparents, sailing to the town where there is a Dance Festival she will perform in. Angelina is so focused on practicing for her performance that she neglects the chores her grandparents give her on the boat and ends up causing trouble and ruining her costume.
This is a fun story to have in the classroom. The illustrations are elaborate and often fill up both pages. They also contain fun little details that add to the light-hearted feel of the story (for example, drying laundry blowing in the wind on a clothesline in the background). Angelina learns the lesson in this story that she should not neglect her duties and that her grandparents have an interesting heritage. I do not think that this story is so amazing that I would read it to my whole class but I would probably keep it in my classroom for students to read during free time.
