Summary
Jan Brett's striking illustrations and the Christmas classic
The Nutcracker
are a match made in picture book heaven。
When Marie and her brother Fritz receive a special Christmas nutcracker from their uncle， Marie immediately feels something magical。 He looks like a real boy， she mused。 A real boy with a secret， who came from far away。
This feeling is only the beginning of the epic adventure she goes on with the Nutcracker--into the cabinet， through the battle with the mice， and finally to the magical land of the Sugar Plum Fairy。
Jan Brett makes this classic her own by setting it in snowy Russia and adding whimsical touches to the favorite elements of the traditional ballet。 Enjoying this book will be an instant Christmas tradition for families who love the ballet and those new to the story。
As perfect a gift as Jan Brett's classics The Mitten and The Night Before Christmas。

I had to double-check the publication date out of disbelief that a picture book coming out today would be illustrated in this iconic and intricately detailed fairytale style。 Brett shows why she's remained a celebrated name in the business for decades， bring this classic tale to luscious life with commendable reverence for the source material。 I had to double-check the publication date out of disbelief that a picture book coming out today would be illustrated in this iconic and intricately detailed fairytale style。 Brett shows why she's remained a celebrated name in the business for decades， bring this classic tale to luscious life with commendable reverence for the source material。 。。。more
