Customer Reviews

This is our favorite in the series!

My 4-year-old loves Halloween and when we actually read this book quite often. In "Angelina's Halloween", Angelina and her best friend Alice prepare for Halloween by thinking up costumes and such, and Angelina's little sister Polly desperately wants her sister's attention, becoming predictably annoying in the process. The kids go off trick or treating at night, with Polly tagging along as a little ghost whilst Angelina and Alice go as fireflies. In the confusion of going from house to house, Angelina loses Polly, but the siblings finally find each other. This particular book appeals to my little one as she loves the gorgeous full-color illustrations that pop off the pages in all their vibrant hues. The details are simply amazing, and I too feel this is one of the most beautifully illustrated in the series. I highly recommend the Angelina series to preschoolers and up.

Excellent

This was the annual Halloween book for our three year old granddaughter. She thoroughly enjoyed the book. So much so, I read it three times in a row. You cannot get a better stamp of approval than from a three year old.

LOVE IT!

Angelina's Halloween is an excellent book. Good story, and OUTSTANDING pictures. So bright and colorful. All our children love it. They pay attention to when this book is read. When looking at the pictures, it has a cozy feeling and a warm feeling. Also, all of the Angelina books are outstanding and it's worth to have as a little library of Angelina books.

Trick-or-Treat with Angelina Ballerina!

"For Halloween, Angelina and her friend Alice make glorious firefly costumes--complete with delicate wings and tiaras. Angelina's little sister, Polly, wants to be a pretty firefly, too. But Angelina thinks she's too little. Polly settles for dressing up as a ghost and, on Halloween night, gives Angelina a surprise scare!" -- From the back cover This sumptuous book features a sweet story, thick pages, and endearing illustrations with soft colors. At 24-pages and a bit larger than most softcover children books, Angelina's Halloween is a wonderful story celebrating the Halloween season. We have quite a few Halloween books and, quite frankly, this is my FAVORITE book that I love to read to my son (and love having read to ME!). Delightful for adults and youngsters alike, Angelina's Halloween will be especially treasured by fans of the TV series on PBS Kids.

Best Angelina Book Yet

I bought this book for my 2 1/2 year old daughter a week ago. She has requested it at nap time, and bed time, and in between, every day. She can now say most of the words along with me! At first I was worried that she would be scared, but she loves every bit of it. I love how Angelina handles her little sister in all the situations from being angry to being scared. It reminds me of my own older sister. I love the story and the illustrations and would recommend this book to anyone.
