This classic Angelina story is a brilliant introduction to the arrival of a new baby.

It's Angelina's birthday and there's going to be a party. But when Angelina breaks her bicycle while racing her best friend, Alice, she thinks the day will be ruined. Angelina is upset, but her parents encourage her to save up for a new one by doing jobs for people in the village. The day of the party arrives and Angelina gets a wonderful birthday surprise - a brand-new bicycle!

Angelina and her friends love Halloween - they make sparkly firefly costumes and have a lovely tea party with goblin biscuits and scary games. Angelina's little sister Polly wants to be a firefly too, but Angelina says she's too small and clumsy, so her mother makes Polly a spooky Halloween costume instead. Polly ends up giving Angelina a real fright when she gets lost in an old haunted house - but she is soon found and Angelina promises Polly her very own firefly costume next year.
