“Ballet-class regulars and living-room twirlers get the story behind the dancing here. Play Tchaikovsky softly as you read, and Clara’s snowy journey almost waltzes off the page.”
One Christmas Eve present turns out to be pure magic.
The Nutcracker is an easy-to-read retelling of the classic Christmas ballet story, about a girl called Clara and her magical nutcracker doll.
On Christmas Eve, Clara unwraps a special present and finds a wooden nutcracker doll dressed like a soldier. But this doll is magic, and soon Clara is off on an adventure across the Land of Snow and Ice, towards somewhere even more spectacular.
Why children love it
- A Christmas party in full swing, with a grandfather clock, a glowing tree and swirling dancers.
- Clara in her spotty pink nightdress, gazing at her new nutcracker soldier.
- The hush of midnight, when Clara gives an enormous yawn and falls asleep under the tree.
Retold by Emma Helbrough · Illustrated by Anna Luraschi · Young Reading series · English
