(4) 4-6 Eyewitness Classics series. Illustrated by James Mayhew. Although the background information offered in sidebars and a few double-page spreads--in the series style, with many captioned photographs and pictures--helps establish a context for the classic story, the unattractive artwork detracts from the presentation. The garish colors will not draw children to the fantastic tale about Marie's adventures with the Christmas Nutcracker.
