Description
THE NUTCRACKER is A Christmas tradition, and for most children it is their introduction to ballet.
- Here, in one beautifully illustrated book, is the story of the ballet and a 78-minute CD of Tchaikovsky′s music performed by the Utah Symphony Orchestra.
- Stephanie Spinner has written a brief, lyrical text about the little girl, Maria, and her Christmas gift of a wooden nutcracker doll who is transformed into a young prince.
- Together they fly to the Land of Sweets where the Sugar Plum Fairy entertains them with lively and exotic dances from around the world.
- Peter Malone′s exquisite illustrations capture all the magic of the beloved Christmastime ballet.

Features and Skills
-
A great way to spend quality time with your child is reading to them and this should begin when they are infants.
-
Exposing children to books at this young age is the first step to peaking their future interest in reading.
-
Rhyming, recognizing first sounds in words, and syllable awareness are all phonemic awareness skills your child has before they are ready to start reading.
-
We do not often think of reading when it comes to our toddlers, but they start hearing about the ABCs in songs and begin gaining letter recognition starting at around 2 years of age.
-
Most children will begin to read between the ages of 5-6 years. But before they can read they need to gain the foundation of pre-reading skills.
