(4) 4-6 Illustrated by Roberto Innocenti. In an elegant, oversize edition of Hoffmann's Christmas story, Marie's nutcracker doll comes to life and she helps to transform him into a handsome prince. The flowery prose of the original text is much more complex than will be expected by children used to the ballet. Innocenti's surreal paintings emphasize the nightmarish aspects of the fantasy.
