Adapted by Stephanie True Peters.
Illustrated by
Linda Bronson.
Peters supplies an accessible introduction to The Nutcracker, using an assured storyteller's voice to emphasize drama and excitement. Bronson's accompanying illustrations are bold and jazzy with lots of turquoise, pink, and purple; energetic, swooping lines are held under control by page borders showing snow, stars, or candy.
