APPEALS TO: MANY

The little red chicken has promised her papa that she will not interrupt The Nutcracker performance. However, when someone is being a bully or someone is in danger, little red chicken can’t stop herself from trying to save the day.

My favorite version of The Nutcracker to date. Little red chicken is adorable in her tutu and she is so earnest about why she is interrupting. Love her. However - her antics may give your little ones some ideas about what they might do at a holiday performance - so be very cautious!
