Keeping up with our December class theme, our monthly book pays respect to The Nutcracker. Our book for December is “Tallulah’s Nutcracker”
This is such a sweet book that is perfect for the holiday season. Tallulah has been chosen to be a mouse in the upcoming performance of The Nutcracker. She is determined to work hard and be the best mouse that she can be. Unfortunately, just like in real life, things don’t go exactly as planned. Tullulah ends up humiliated, but quickly has help to overcome her shame. This is a great story to teach little ones how to overcome embarrassment when things don’t go exactly as planned.
Not only does the book have themes of hard-work, dedication, perseverance, and overcoming embarrassing moments, it also has beautiful illustrations and develops a great ballet vocabulary for the young dancer.
We hope you enjoy this book and the holiday season!
