Yes, it is July, and I am writing about The Nutcracker! I believe that it is never too early to be thinking of your classes and units of study in the coming months.
We got this version of The Nutcracker out of the library the other week, and my 5 year old son has asked for me to read this to him almost every day. He hasn't even seen The Nutcracker yet, but I already have plans in the works to take him to see the San Francisco Ballet in December....
Alison Jay is known for her distinctive artwork and its "crackled painting" appearance. Her version of the Nutcracker tale is easy to read and accessible for young ones. Over the coming months, I will review various versions of the Nutcracker story.
Between the artwork and reasonable length text, this book is a great version to share with students in PreK-3rd grade as you explore this classic story from the ballet.
