My First Story Orchestra

Introduce babies and toddlers to the magic of classical music, with this reimagining of one of legendary composer Tchaikovsky's most famous ballets. It's Christmas Eve. Listen to the Russian dancers as they perform, and hear the marzipan ballerinas twirl and spin across the stage, and the flowers sway to the waltz. And the sugar plum fairy is performing her special dance, all before everyone wakes up for Christmas. As you and your young child journey through the magical scenes, read the story text in each circle aloud and press the buttons on each page to activate the sounds! This encourages interactive learning via an immersive experience. The soothing natural scenes are illustrated impeccably, with warm, festive spreads across each page. Follow Clara on her journey as she joins the Nutcracker in the Land of Sweets. The My First Story Orchestra series brings classical music to life for children aged 0-3 through illustrated retellings of classic ballet, opera and program music stories, paired with 10-second sound clips of orchestras playing from their musical scores. Also available from the My First Story Orchestra series: Swan Lake. Manufacturer's note: please pull the white tab out of the back of the book before use. Sound buttons require a firm push in exact location to work, which may be hard for young children. All sound clips are 10 seconds long.
