Tallulah the Ballerina (3:25)
“Tallulah decided she’d better pay attention. 
She watched closely. 
She turned her feet and curved her hands near her hips in first position. 
She bent her knees in a plié. She did it perfectly. 
I am an excellent ballerina, she thought.”
Hundreds of children know and love this story about Tallulah, a young ballet student, although, it may be new to you. Today we’ll acquaint ourselves with the author of the book series, “Tallulah.” Her name is Marilyn Singer. [WEB LINK: http://marilynsinger.net/ ] She’s known for touching a variety of subjects in her books – from animals to schools to aliens! She has also invented a thing-a-ma-jig that she calls a “reverso” poem. Singer is the winner of the 2015 National Council of Teachers of English Award for Excellence in Poetry. She has over 100 books to her credit.

She also offers a guide to finding quality audio books.
