A Writer's Reference: 2003 MLA Update 58 reviews
Diana Hacker
Bedford/St. Martin's, 2003
My favorite grammar handbook
This is the assigned text in the English composition courses I currently teach. I had used the Little, Brown Handbook in the past. I find Hacker's book to be useful, concise, and pleasant to read. Her explanations are clear, the organization of the book is logical, and the included sections on MLA, APA, and CMS documentation formats are essential. The comb binding (so it lays flat when you ...

Angelina's Birthday (Angelina Ballerina) 4 reviews
Katharine Holabird
Viking Juvenile, 2006
Another Angelina Success
Like all of the "Angelina Ballerina" series, this one is beautifully illustrated and has content interesting to pre-schoolers, including the idea that children can do some work to earn something they really want. Angelina and her friend Alice have set-backs and successes with, of course, a happy and satisfying ending.
Unlike previous books, however, the cover has shiny silver among the ...

Angelina's Ballet Class (Angelina Ballerina)5 reviews
Katharine Holabird
Grosset & Dunlap, 2006
Very cute!
My four year old absolutely loves this book! She loves to try all the dance steps that Angelina and her friends are doing (and it's neat because it shows you how to do them.) There is also a tear-out section in the back from which my daughter was able to assemble a little book of her own. If you've got an Angelina fan, she'll enjoy this book!

saved my life
I wrote a review years ago after I read this book.
Still today, regardless of all the notoriety, I give thanks to James for writing this book. Unless someone has walked in the shoes of very early sobriety and recovery from drug addiction as well as alcohol abuse there can be no understanding of how powerful this book is.
Bottom line: it saved my life and my MIND. Without this book God only ...

An inspiring tale
My 2 year old daughter received this for her birthday this year and loves it! The story of Angelina, the little mouse who dreams of being a ballerina and keeps practising, to the exclusion of all else is something that strikes a chord in any one who has had a serious interest in something, be it dance, sports, etc. I would say that this book is not just for aspiring ballerinas, but for any child ...

Graded Italian Reader: Prima tappa1 review
Vincenzo Cioffari, Angelina Cioffari
Houghton Mifflin Company, 1991
This well-prepared book uses a gradual approach.
This book is one of the best tools to build vocabulary and useful sentence structures for beginning students. The first section, or book, is by the editor/author, and provides an introduction to some basic ideas of the language. It usually surprises students how quickly they begin picking up the meaning. The material is subtly graded, so the reader does not struggle with the addition of new ...

Angelina's Invitation to the Ballet (Angelina Ballerina)2 reviews
Katharine Holabird
Viking Juvenile, 2007
letters in this book are enchanting!
My 5 year old adores this book for the "mail" included. The letters and invitations and all that you can pull out and read keep her absolutely fixated! She has other books with pockets and "pull out stuff", but she likes this one best because it's an Angelina book.

Jolie Bio
Loved this!!! Great pictures and great insight into a wonderful person's world. Being a fan I had heard most of the stories from Angelina interviews in the past, but there were some things that surprised me. It also offered a lot of information on her marriages and why they didn't work out.

Katharine Holabird
Viking Juvenile, 2006
My daughter and I both love this book!
"Angelina and the Princess" is the first of the Angelina series my daughter and I have, but we plan to get the rest as we love this so much. Angelina is a tiny white mouse who yearns to be feminine and sweet, but is sometimes headstrong and silly--just like most girls I know (including my five-year old daughter!). Angelina has a dance recital coming up and she is pining away for a major role. ...

'Angelina's Christmas' is a charming addition to the mouseling library, and a wonderful holiday classic for all!
Young Angelina Ballerina couldn't be more upset when she spots old Mr. Bell sitting all by his lonesome at Christmastime, looking like a sad puppy. Mr. Bell used to be the jovial postman in town, who brought gifts and cards to everyone during the holidays, and played the town Santa Claus for all of the little mouselings. Angelina, full of Christmas spirit, decides that it is up to her to make Mr. ...

Inspiring and lovely
Many people know Mariane Pearl only as the widow of Daniel Pearl, who wrote a memoir, and had a movie made about her life starring the megastar Angelina Jolie. People forget that Mariane Pearl is a journalist and a good journalist at that.
Pearl has been faced with the kind of hatred that makes it easy for someone to give up. Mariane Pearl never gave up and she disarms her enemies by writing ...
