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.

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.

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!!

I have never read or heard the story of the nutcracker until I bought this book. I want to make this book a Christmas tradition. Even though my daughter is very young I intend to make this wonderful story a part of our lives each Christmas season. The art work is beautiful and I enjoyed every moment of reading it.
