Angelina is not happy about all the changes in her daily routine now that her family has moved to the other side of Chipping Cheddar.

2. Angelina’s New School

Sep 5, 2009

Angelina is excited, yet nervous, about her first day of school at Camembert Academy. When she finds her new classmates proficient in other styles of dance, she tries to copy their moves – without success. Angelina soon discovers that when she’s true to her own style of dance – ballet – she excels, and soon understands that everyone is different, and different is good.

3. Angelina’s New Ballet Teacher

The day for Angelina to meet her new ballet teacher, Ms. Mimi, has finally arrived. However, Ms. Mimi’s teaching style is very different than that of Angelina’s former teacher and mentor, Miss Lilly. Loyal to Miss Lilly, the disappointed Angelina resists Ms. Mimi’s lessons. In the end, Angelina discovers that there’s more than one way of teaching things, and there’s more than one way to learn.

4. Angelina’s Dance Partner

Angelina is ecstatic to have the opportunity to dance with her best friend, Alice, at Camembert Academy’s Dance-with-a-Partner Day. She knows Alice will follow her choreography to a “T.” Unfortunately, Alice gets the sniffles. Angelina has to balance wanting to perform to her own choreography with Vici’s urge to improvise when the two decide to partner up in Alice’s absence.

5. A Gift for Ms. Mimi

Sep 19, 2009

It’s Ms. Mimi’s birthday, and Angelina wants to give her the best birthday ever! As Angelina and her classmates check the list of items needed for a party, everything goes comically wrong; they can’t even buy a decent gift for their beloved teacher! Ms. Mimi is definitely surprised by the makeshift party her students throw for her, and is even more delighted by the song and dance they improvise on a whim, which ends up being the best gift of all.

6. Angelina’s Oldest Friend

Angelina loves her new Camembert Academy friends and also loves her old friend Alice. She expects that both sets of friends will love each other too. Unfortunately, their first encounter is not as smooth as Angelina would have liked.

7. Angelina & the Hip Hop Kid

There’s a new Hip Hop dancing mouseling at Camembert Academy: A.Z. The girls find him interesting, especially since he knows how to do Hip Hop, but they definitely do not want him as a ballet partner. It’s not until Angelina is reluctantly paired up with A.Z. that she learns you can’t judge a book by its cover. Not only does he know Hip Hop, but A.Z. is pretty good at ballet too!

8. Angelina’s Broken Fiddle

When Angelina and Polly accidentally break their dad’s fiddle, they come up with elaborate excuses to get out of trouble. In the end, the girls learn to tell the truth and also redeem themselves by helping to pay for the fiddle repairs.

9. Angelina & Alice’s Big Night

Angelina has a recital coming up with her class at Camembert and wants Alice to attend as her special guest – but Alice has an ice skating event at the ice rink on the very same night, and she wants Angelina to come to her performance as her special guest! They struggle with the dilemma, and ultimately, find a way to rush back and forth between the two events. It’s exhausting, but worth it!

10. Angelina and the Giant

Angelina and Alice have been given the task of designing the Giant prop for “Jackie and the Beanstalk”. Angelina gets a bit carried away trying to make the biggest and best prop ever. Subsequently her plans and the Giant come crashing to the ground! When she clears up the mess, she stumbles upon a much simpler and more effective way of making a big impact, learning that it’s best to keep things simple!

11. Angelina’s Musical Day

Ms. Mimi’s class of mouselings plans to put on a production of “Peter and the Wolf.” In it, each character is identified by a musical riff played on a student’s favorite instrument. When Ms. Mimi comes to rehearsal with laryngitis, she uses these musical riffs to communicate with the mouselings. Vici tries it herself and attempts to communicate by using a recorder and no words. She ends up showing everyone that friends don’t always need words to talk to each other.

12. Angelina’s Crazy Solo

Angelina and her friends are putting on a show, and they each have a specific job to do. Vici’s the Choreographer, Marco’s the Set Designer, Alice is the Stage Manager, Gracie’s on Props and Angelina is the Soloist! Despite Angelina’s thoughts that everyone should be interested in what SHE thinks, she learns that teamwork – and actually listening to each other – makes for the perfect show!

13. Angelina and the Irish Jig

Vici has arrived back from holiday in Tippermousy, Ireland, with some Irish music. She’s keen to teach her friends how to dance the way the Tippermousy mouselings do. But when Angelina overbalances while trying out the tricky steps of the Irish Jig, she breaks the music player, and in turn, loses the music. To make amends, she decides to organize a surprise Irish party for Vici, but Vici thinks Angelina is organizing a whispering campaign behind her back...

14. Angelina En Pointe

When Angelina learns the Mousnikov Ballet is holding auditions for their next show, she does whatever she can to try out; however, her young joints and muscles can’t hold her up en Pointe. She doesn’t let anything stop her as she continues to practice until she can no longer stand. Simultaneously, Marco is trying a new String Bass, but accidentally practices on a full-sized instrument instead of one that fits his size. They both learn that despite their efforts, they’ll have to wait to grow up before reaching new heights in their crafts.

15. Angelina’s Rock Band

At the Chipping Cheddar Music Day Picnic, Angelina finds her friends rehearsing in a band for a school project. They invite her to join in, as a tambourine player. She’s so excited and sees celebrity status in her future until she finds out that she only gets to hit the tambourine once during the entire song. Her enthusiasm wanes, and she becomes an unreliable band player. Besides, it’s only one little moment, how bad can it be if she doesn’t perform it correctly? It’s not until after the band politely kicks her out that she understands that even missing one tiny element can spoil the entire performance.

16. Angelina’s Lost Ice Skates

Angelina and Alice are getting ready for the big ice show – which Angelina will star in the show’s opening solo! As they rush out of the house, Mum and Polly bring out their forgotten ice skates and lunches. At the park, Angelina insists on practicing her land-based axels, and the mouselings forget their lunches on a bench for some birds to enjoy. After snacking on smoothies at Mrs. Thimble’s store, Angelina is in a bind when the ice skating show is set to begin and she realizes that she lost her skates – leaving her solo in jeopardy!

17. Angelina’s Music Store

Angelina wants to celebrate the opening of her dad’s new music store with a splashy party and a musical demonstration. She enlists her musician friends to play some of the instruments that will be sold in the store. The trouble is Mrs. Thimble, whose store is directly across the street, doesn’t appreciate the loud music, which interferes with her daily nap. Angelina has to find a way to keep the party going without disturbing Mrs. Thimble. She finally comes up with a solution: using the instruments to play a soothing lullaby to help Mrs. Thimble fall asleep – solving two problems at once!

18. Angelina & Ms. Mimi

When Ms. Mimi introduces the class to a new drum kit, Angelina behaves over- exuberantly and is mortified by Ms. Mimi’s gentle admonishment. In her efforts to regain Ms. Mimi’s favor, she upsets her friends by missing important rehearsals before eventually realizing that she has been overreacting in the first place.

19. Angelina and Super Polly

Polly adores a book about a normal mouseling girl who gets superhero powers when she hears a trumpet fanfare. Polly starts to think maybe she has super powers too! She gets a fanfare recording from her father, but after some humorous testing, it’s clear Polly has no superpowers at all. Angelina says everyone is super at something, and with Vici and Marco’s help, she has Polly try a variety of things to see what she’s super at. It turns out Polly’s a super singer! Angelina was right, everyone is super at something.

20. Angelina’s Dance Like a Cake Day

When Angelina’s cake ends in disaster thanks to Polly’s help, she doesn’t know what to do. Angelina asks each friend if she can join them, but each dance presents a problem for her. When she returns home, she gets an idea! With help from Marco and Ms. Mimi, she’s able to present the Flamenco with orange and oat cookies – and the party is a hit!
