This review is from: Nutcracker (Hardcover)
THE BOOK WAS GREAT. IT EXCEEDED MY EXPECTATIONS. THERE WAS EVEN A SMALL METAL NUTCRACKER BOOKMARKER WITH RED RIBBON TO MARK THE PAGES. THE GRANDCHILDREN LOVED IT.

Beautiful Book,
This review is from: Nutcracker (Hardcover)
This book is a treasure. My 8 yr. old daughter danced in the Nutcracker Suite Ballet and I got this book for her in place of the traditional flowers for her outstanding performance and she LOVED it and has read it several times over. The art in the book is beautiful and it is truly an heirloom book to be handed down for generations.
