If you are looking to build your classic library, adding THE NUTCRACKER seems like a necessary addition. The reissue of this classic Christmas Eve story has a beautiful, old-fashioned feel. This oversized book has gorgeous but minimal illustrations, and with a longer story, this might be one that could be read over the whole month.
I never read The Nutcracker as a child, so I was curious about this classic that I had heard so much about. This timeless story is full of magic, courage, and holiday wonder. Young Marie Stahlbaum becomes enamored with a Nutcracker on Christmas Eve, and when her brother, Fritz, plays a little too hard with him, Marie decides to make it her mission to care for him. Through Marie’s journey with her brave Nutcracker prince, kids will experience the joy of imagination, the excitement of adventure, and the warmth of kindness.
Children will naturally be drawn to the brave Nutcracker and its thrilling battle with the Mouse King. At its core, the story celebrates courage, kindness, and believing in the impossible, which makes it a great read-aloud for this holiday season. Don’t miss this reissued, gorgeous version of THE NUTCRACKER, where a new generation of children can fall in love with a story that has been adored by children for over 200 years.
