Tallulah's Nutcracker

40 pp. | Clarion | October, 2013 | Trade ISBN 978-0-547-84557-9 $16.99
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Alexandra Boiger. Dancing in The Nutcracker is not what Tallulah expected: rehearsals are boring, and her mouse costume isn't "elegant." Worst of all, on the big night, she inadvertently causes a pile-up of mice and toy soldiers. Backstage, others remind her of what being a dancer is all about. Gentle text and warm illustrations together offer an un-sugar-coated but humorous portrayal of theater life.
