This short board book is an ideal way to explain the story of The Nutcracker to very young children. The beautiful illustrations and straightforward narration bring this classic story to life and would be an excellent way to help prepare a child for their first performance of this Christmas staple.
I look forward to experiencing a physical copy of this book to hear the included music clips.
