Angelina Ballerina 25th Anniversary Edition Book

This really should have a sticker on the cover to indicate that it's the politically correct edition. I was curious about what had been changed in this "refreshed" version so I read it aloud while my daughter followed along in our copy of the original book. The only changes we found were all related to the use of words suggesting that characters were male or female. Angelina is no longer chased by the "little boys" in her class, but by "mouselings;" the "little girls" in her ballet class are also now "mouselings," and Angelina can't even refer to herself as a girl, and instead calls herself "the happiest little mouseling" in the world. One could argue that I'm making a big deal out of a minor change in wording, but clearly, the publisher doesn't see it as minor since they felt it was necessary to change the text of the book after 30 years. The changes are subtle, but they're enough to make me want to keep my original copy and send this new one to the donation pile.
