Ella Bella Ballerina and The Nutcracker

32 pp. | Barron's | November, 2012 | Trade ISBN 978-0-7641-6581-8 $14.99
(4) K-3 In Ella Bella's fourth adventure, Madame Rosa's magical music box transports the young dancer into The Nutcracker where she shares with Clara the excitement of overcoming the Rat King and follows Clara and the Prince to the Land of Sweets. The story is somewhat blandly told; Mayhew's colorful, detailed illustrations provide the magic in this holiday tale.
