Nutcracker Ballet Story

This was a simple story telling about the little girl who received a Nutcracker for Christmas and the magical events that happened.

amazing book!

I was in first grade in the late 80's and we were doing a unit on the nutcracker. We went to go see the play and did a lot of music, art and english activities related to it. I was enjoying it so much that my mom bought me a copy of this book, same cover and all. I really loved the illustrations in it, from the christmas decorations to the land of sweets to all the snow. I've misplaced my copy but if I ever do find it it's a keeper!

important part of Christmas to many

In reference to the next review, Marie and Clara are not the same character. Marie is the little girl, and Clara is her doll.
