Personal: This book just popped out at me, I read it at work. It was like a perfect book for a little girl that thinks she is a princess and shows that even some people become nervous in important situations. After I read this book I brought it home to share with a few friends and family members because it was so cute!

Classroom extension:
1. I would use this book during a feelings theme week
2. I would let the girls use it if I was to have cute girl books and boy books for extra time
3. This could also be used in family theme because the family helps Celestine through her rough time of nervousness.

Celestine is about a little duckling who has been a star since she was born. When finally she has the chance to be on stage she forgets her lines so she finishes the play by dancing instead. In the end everyone still loves the play. This could be used to teach children that no matter what, if you try your hardest you will always be the best. ( )
