Based on the New York City Ballet production of George Balanchine's The Nutcracker®. This picture book places ballet front and center. Dancers portraying ethereal snowflakes and delicious treats from other lands, along with the Sugarplum Fairy, welcome Marie and her Nutcracker Prince for a night of celebration in the Land of Sweets. Dramatic illustrations in a sugary palette underscore the story's magic and the beauty of the ballet.
