amazing book!,
A Kid's Review
This review is from: The Story of the Nutcracker Ballet (Paperback)
I was in first grade in the late 80's and we were doing a unit on the nutcracker. We went to go see the play and did a lot of music, art and english activities related to it. I was enjoying it so much that my mom bought me a copy of this book, same cover and all. I really loved the illustrations in it, from the christmas decorations to the land of sweets to all the snow. I've misplaced my copy but if I ever do find it it's a keeper!

Confusion about the character's name,
This review is from: The Story of the Nutcracker Ballet (Pictureback(R)) (Paperback)
Although many versions of the ballet call the girl Clara, she is called Marie Stahlbaum in the original E.T.A. Hoffmann story and in some versions of the ballet. This retelling is lovely. The name "Marie" is not incorrect; it just refers back to an earlier version of the story.

This review is from: The Story of the Nutcracker Ballet (Pictureback(R)) (Paperback)
In reference to the next review, Marie and Clara are not the same character. Marie is the little girl, and Clara is her doll.
