Illus. in full color. "Angelina is invited to perform as a magic fairy in a real grown-ups'' ballet. She''s delighted, but less so when her goofy younger cousin Henry is asked to perform in the ballet, too. The book gently reflects an older child''s ambivalent feelings. But it is also a delightful story."--Publishers Weekly.

"This is a short story of the small central Kansas town of Enterprise, founded by three German-speaking Swiss families"--Pref.
