I wanted to teach my kids about The Nutcracker abs this really helped a lot。 We watched the ballet but having the story written out like this made it a lot easier。 The illustrations are gorgeous and there are buttons to press to hear snippets of the music。 Some books like this have really annoying sounds but these are very lovely。

Beautiful story and illustration。the only problem is the way the four violinist are drawn on the 11th and 12th pages of the book，all the violinist are holding their left hand under the violin！！ the fist one is also holding the middle of the bow with her right hand ！！ even my 4 years old noticed this mistake。I did not expect a book that has the title of "orchestra" and is trying to introduce such a great composer like Tchaikovsky， have a big illustration mistake。I hope they correct it。other than Beautiful story and illustration。the only problem is the way the four violinist are drawn on the 11th and 12th pages of the book，all the violinist are holding their left hand under the violin！！ the fist one is also holding the middle of the bow with her right hand ！！ even my 4 years old noticed this mistake。I did not expect a book that has the title of "orchestra" and is trying to introduce such a great composer like Tchaikovsky， have a big illustration mistake。I hope they correct it。other than that， the whole book is lovely and is a great simple way to get introduce kids to the world of classic music。 。。。more

Well。 The music of the nutcracker is waaaaay superior to the actual story that accompanies it。

This beautiful book is a fantastic gift for anyone who loves The Nutcracker。 Just by touching the cover you can tell that this is a high quality book。 Inside you will find a nice retelling of the nutcracker story。 It is just detailed enough-not overly simplistic but not too lengthy， since the music is the main focus here。 The illustrations are beautiful and attractive。 Each page features a ten second clip of the music for that scene。 I do wish the clip could be a little longer in some places， bu This beautiful book is a fantastic gift for anyone who loves The Nutcracker。 Just by touching the cover you can tell that this is a high quality book。 Inside you will find a nice retelling of the nutcracker story。 It is just detailed enough-not overly simplistic but not too lengthy， since the music is the main focus here。 The illustrations are beautiful and attractive。 Each page features a ten second clip of the music for that scene。 I do wish the clip could be a little longer in some places， but I understand the limitations of a book like this probably make that difficult。 Rather than plastic buttons like in most sound books， the reader simply presses to a specific spot on the page and the sound magically plays （the spots being pressed on correspond to the buttons under the final page， but the actual buttons are never visible to the reader。 Some of the first pages were a little hard to press for my four year old， but overall I think this style decision is nice。 Batteries can be replaced from the back cover。 。。。more

I had to pick up this beautiful edition of The Nutcracker as soon as I saw it！ I love the story and this is the perfect introduction to music from the ballet。。 I will be buying a few more for gifts！4。5 stars only because the sound buttons need to be pressed really firmly （ tricky for little ones） and the clips could have been a little longer。

Ne mogu vam opisati radost koju sam osjetila kada sam u ruke primila ovu slikovnicu ilustratorice Jessice Courtney-Tickle。 “Orkestar priča priču: Orašar”， a koja je posvećena eteričnom božićnom baletu skladatelja P。I。 Čajkovskog。Svaka stranica vrvi izuzetno lijepim ilustracijama， krajnje promišljenim tekstom te gotovo svaka ima gumbić koji djeca mogu pritisnuti kako bi čula kratki ulomak iz glazbe koju u tom dijelu opisuju。 Krajnje iskustvo čitanja ove slikovnice je ČAROBNO。 Mali izlet u neki sa Ne mogu vam opisati radost koju sam osjetila kada sam u ruke primila ovu slikovnicu ilustratorice Jessice Courtney-Tickle。 “Orkestar priča priču: Orašar”， a koja je posvećena eteričnom božićnom baletu skladatelja P。I。 Čajkovskog。Svaka stranica vrvi izuzetno lijepim ilustracijama， krajnje promišljenim tekstom te gotovo svaka ima gumbić koji djeca mogu pritisnuti kako bi čula kratki ulomak iz glazbe koju u tom dijelu opisuju。 Krajnje iskustvo čitanja ove slikovnice je ČAROBNO。 Mali izlet u neki sasvim drugi svijet。Ambicija koja stoji iza ovih slikovnica je očigledna， ali nema aspekta u kojem je autorski tim podbacio。 Ilustracije su vrhunske， bogate bojama i detaljima， jasnog stila koji savršeno odgovara glazbenom djelu koje ilustrira， a tehnologija koja je uvedena u ove knjige nimalo ne pojeftinjuje slikovnice， nego fantastično uveličava senzorni efekt koji je potreban da bi se vizualna， glazbena i tekstualna umjetnost ovako dobro spojile。 Prava gozba za oko， uho i mladi um。 Originalni osvrt možete pročitati ovdje: https://knjigesumojsvijet。com/2018/09。。。 。。。more

The story orchestra books are a great way to get kids into classical music。 The music in this book was beautiful。 The illustrations are really pretty。

We adore this series of books and joyfully added the Nutcracker to our collection （and gifted a few too）。 This is a nice picture book style abridged version of the story， with great illustrations， and includes sound snippets worked in along the way。 The last page spread has a bit about the the composer and little tidbits about the songs featured。 Overall great for kids as an introduction to classical composers and also a great read to share。 We enjoyed a read through and then flipped back and fo We adore this series of books and joyfully added the Nutcracker to our collection （and gifted a few too）。 This is a nice picture book style abridged version of the story， with great illustrations， and includes sound snippets worked in along the way。 The last page spread has a bit about the the composer and little tidbits about the songs featured。 Overall great for kids as an introduction to classical composers and also a great read to share。 We enjoyed a read through and then flipped back and forth between favorite parts。 Definitely recommend！ 。。。more

Very pretty book with buttons to play samples of The Nutcracker while reading the story and looking at beautiful illustrations。 Many kids will love this book。 I’ve used this in the classroom with small groups。 It’s grown on me and kids love it。
