She also realizes that she has not been much help withthe sailing. She is so upset and does not know what to do about her costume. Will Angelina be ale to find a new costume in time for her performance? Read Katharine Holabird's Angelina, Star of the Show to find out!
The illustrations are done in what looks like ink sketches. The lines are done in such a way that you can see the texture of the fur on the mice. The color looks to be done with water colors. There is no empty space on the page. It looks like the text was printed right onto the illustrations.
You could use this book for a History lesson to discuss sailing. You could also do a lesson about art and introduce dance. You could also teach about character education and about what Angelina could have done differently to prevent the mess up of her costume. Also, there could be a math lesson where the students have to interpret a map covering all the places Angelina and her grandparents sailed. This book does not have any awards.
