A beautiful book, Feb 13 2008

This review is from: The Nutcracker (Hardcover)
My daughters are still too young to sit through the whole story, but I wanted to get this (at a fantastic bargain price) for next Christmas when my oldest will be almost 5 and able to handle one chapter each evening. It's true to the original text with gorgeous illustrations. A classic that I know we will enjoy for many years. I bought a second copy for a friend's family, and they are also looking forward to December to read it as a family.

I love this book!, July 27 2009
By J. Anderson "Marge" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: The Nutcracker (Hardcover)
The story of the Nutcracker is well told in this adaptation. The illustrations are beautiful. It is a picture book but is also long enough to be a good read. My three year old son sat enraptured while I read it (and he hardly ever sits still)! I will buy more for friends.

This review is from: The Nutcracker (Hardcover)
My collection of Nutcracker books got a boost with this wonderfully illustrated version. The little grandchildren love the story and always anticipate a time before Christmas when Grandma gets out the nutcrackers followed by a cup of hot chocolate and the story of the nutcracker. The book arrived in excellent condition and in unsurpassed processing time. Give yourself a treat with a child and the story of the Nutcracker. . . make it a holiday tradition!!
