Review:

Angelina and her cousin Henry help to bring Christmas to an old and lonely retired postman, Mr Bell. Aided by Angelina's mother, Mrs Mouseling, they make biscuits for him, and accompanied by Mr Mouseling, they take the biscuits and other Christmas goodies to Mr Bell, who is amazed and delighted by their kindness. But there's a twist in the tale to delight the kind children: imagine their surprise when they find there's a real Father Christmas in their own village! This delightful book is one of the incredibly popular Angelina Ballerina series, and is suitable for children of 3 years and above. --Susan Naylor
