Vintage Three Cheers For Tacky Paperback & Cassette By Helen Lester 1994 Cute!

Description: This vintage paperback and cassette set is in very good condition, considering how long I have had it! There is just normal wear on the edges. I used this set in my kindergarten classroom when we were doing a unit on penguins in January. My students absolutely loved the charming Tacky character! In this story, Tacky the penguin marches to his own beat of the drum. He and his group of friends are working on a cheer routine. Tacky adds his own unique touch to his team's routine at the Penguin Cheering Contest with surprising results. My students loved repeating the catchy funny cheers that Tacky made! The book effectively brings out the message of celebrating being one's self. This set is clean and comes from a smoke free home. The wonderful, engaging book was written by Helen Lester and illustrated by Lynn Munsinger. It was published by Houghton Mifflin Company and has a copyright date of 1994. The book measures 9.5" x 8.25" and is 32 pages. This book is part of the "Tacky" series by Helen Lester. In the series of quirky books, Tacky is always being teased by his perfect penguin friends. His eccentric ways and amusing antics prove that there is nothing wrong, and just enough right, with being different. This hilarious series follows the crazy antics and adventures and wild personality of one superlative penguin. Tacky is always faced with a perplexing problem, but seems to make the right (sometimes tough) choice to solve it. The books are great, as they are about being different and being accepted. Kids will learn that it is okay to just be themselves, they will understand that they don't have to be like everyone else, and they will find out that differences can make you special. The following is a synopsis of the plot of this lovely, delightful story: One of a kind Tacky is an adorable odd bird, but everyone loves him. He likes his Hawaiian shirt and spontaneous dance moves, but his fellow penguins find his oddball moves concerning when he is trying to compete with the other penguins (Goodly, Lovely, Angel, Neatly, Perfect) in the iceberg-wide Penguin Cheering Contest. Tacky's other cheermates have the routine down pat. But, Tacky is having a problem getting the hang of the routine. Readers/Listeners will find out if Tacky will ever be able to learn the synchronized moves and win the contest without his interfering by standing out in the group. In the cute story, weird and cool Tacky creates an interesting cheer for his team that is less boring than the original, even though his teammates firmly explain to him that, on a team, everybody is the same. Tacky's cheer manages to keep the judges awake during the competition and helps their team win the prize of big blue ribbons for being the most entertaining. When the contest starts, all the other groups' routines fail to impress the judges, and it is left to Tacky and his team to present a winning routine. Kids will love that even though Tacky finally mastered the routine in practices, he gets flustered when he gets onstage for the real show and begins to mess up a little. He doesn't go with the flow and actually has something up his sleeve. Tacky does the routine his own goofy way and makes everyone laugh to the point that they ask for more. This fun and humorous read has such a sweet message of acceptance about a misfit who wins the day just by being himself. From beloved children's book author, Helen Lester, and treasured illustrator, Lynn Munsinger, this laugh-out-loud tale about embracing our individuality will remind everyone that being different is part of the fun. This book is great for children who are worried about being perfect. Tacky can rarely follow expectations, but he has a big heart and often saves the day. Kids will cheer for Tacky the underdog! The cassette did not come with a case. It also has a copyright date of 1994. It has 2 sides. One has turn-the-page signals. The other doesn't. This set would made a wonderful addition to a primary classroom! It would also be great to have in a household with younger children! I am hoping to find this set a good home.
