Angelina Ice Skates

children's fiction, ages 3-8
Angelina Ballerina has a well established series of books and a cartoon show on television.
Angelina is a mouse who goes to ballet school. In this book Angelina and friends are arranging for an outdoor skating show. Some boys interfere with their hockey playing. What's a girl to do? I think I have read this same plot featuring the Berenstain Bears, Strawberry Shortcake, and many other characters. Yawn.
Apparently the author thinks that if one is good at ballet, one is automatically great at ice skating, too, with no additional training.
