Présentation de l'éditeur

Christmas just isn’t Christmas without The Nutcracker! This beautiful book invites children to dance, prance, and relive the ballet long after the tree comes down.
 
Peter Malone’s exquisite illustrations capture all the magic of The Nutcracker’s most memorable scenes: the Christmas Eve party, Godfather Drosselmeyer’s spellbinding visit, and the ferocious battle between the Mouse King and the Nutcracker. Marie’s journey to the Land of Sweets, where the Sugar Plum Fairy welcomes her with exuberant dancers from around the globe—and toothsome desserts—springs to life as never before.
 
Stephanie Spinner’s lyrical text and Peter Malone’s jewel-like artwork make this a gift to inspire even the very youngest dancer.
