Angelina and Henry

Fans of the other Angelina Ballerina books will enjoy this one, and will be drawn to the familiar characters and illustrations, but in looking for some trait on which to recommend it for it’s own sake, I’m coming up a bit blank. It’s not a bad little story. I just can’t think of anything that makes it stand out as a must-have. It tells of Angelina and Henry off on a camping adventure with Uncle Louie. It’s a longer hike than Angelina would’ve liked, and then they still need to pitch their tents and gather firewood before they can have their campfire, but when they’re sent off to gather wood, Angelina and Henry get distracted playing until they are lost and there’s a storm, and eventually Uncle Louie comes to find them and they get back to camp and have a campfire (no explanation for where the wood came from) and dinner and all is well.
