The Nutcracker (with music) Read Aloud

Welcome to our 25 Days of Christmas countdown!! Today is Day 6. Every day leading up to Christmas there will be a new story on this channel! There will be classics, and hopefully some new stories to you that may become new favorites.
I am very excited about today's story, which is the New York City Ballet version of the Nutcracker! The New York City Ballet is known for showcasing classic stories of the ballet with their trademark stylish and modern sensibility. For the first time, this beloved holiday story is told based on George Balanchine’s quintessential production. The storyline of this gorgeous picture book mimics the choreography of the famous ballet and the illustrations are inspired by the backdrops and scenery from the actual production.
The New York City Ballet’s production of the Nutcracker is considered to be “the” leading production in the world. A holiday tradition for many families, now readers who can’t travel to New York will be able to experience this colorful celebratory story. A must-have for every aspiring ballerina’s library and a holiday tradition for every family’s bookshelf.
