فندقشکن خیلی داستان قشنگ و دوستداشتنیه که چایکوفسکی آهنگساز روس یه باله برای اون نوشته و هر سال موقع کریسمس اجرا میشه و خوندن و دیدن و شنیدنش خالی از لطف نیست。

I love the story of The Nutcracker and this book told it very well。 There were some parts of the story that I think could have been written better and some pictures that could have been done better but overall the book was great and told the story of The Nutcracker in a simple and easy to understand way。

This is a little different and more involved story from the Nutcracker Ballet。 The Ballet happens all over an evening and this happens over several evenings。 There are more battles in this book also。 Drosselmeier goes into a long enchanted backstory that I had never heard before in this book。 I believe this is based on the original。 He is related to the Nutcracker who was enchanted。There is a whole page of text with one page of pictures。 It is a long bedtime story and it is good。 I told my niece This is a little different and more involved story from the Nutcracker Ballet。 The Ballet happens all over an evening and this happens over several evenings。 There are more battles in this book also。 Drosselmeier goes into a long enchanted backstory that I had never heard before in this book。 I believe this is based on the original。 He is related to the Nutcracker who was enchanted。There is a whole page of text with one page of pictures。 It is a long bedtime story and it is good。 I told my niece it was a ballet and she wants to see it now。 Both kids were into the story and it was too much text per page。 They got restless。I enjoyed knowing the full story。 。。。more

Eh， the pictures aren't magical and the sentence structure is odd for a children's book。 There are much better versions of The Nutcracker for kids。 Eh， the pictures aren't magical and the sentence structure is odd for a children's book。 There are much better versions of The Nutcracker for kids。 。。。more

All by itself， this is a great story。 Unfortunately， every puts their crappy spin on it， which ruins it。

The NutcrackerZwerger， LisbethThis is a story of love， where an uncle attempts to enchant his niece with a magical Christmas story。 The book is a retelling of the original ballet， this book introduces children to the story in another format that allows them to connect to the artistic interpretation of the story。 The historical German story told in the ballet shows the strength of love life and risking all for another。

It's pretty good。 As the note in the beginning points out， by necessity the story had to be shortened to fit the picture book format。 I love the pictures。 The story， however， is a different issue。 It has its moments， but comes across as more surreal and bizarre than magical and wonderful。 It's pretty good。 As the note in the beginning points out， by necessity the story had to be shortened to fit the picture book format。 I love the pictures。 The story， however， is a different issue。 It has its moments， but comes across as more surreal and bizarre than magical and wonderful。 。。。more
