Illustrated by
Renee Graef.
This picture book retelling of the classic Christmas tale is illustrated with numerous small vignettes, as well as larger pictures showing Marie, her beloved Nutcracker, and their adventures. An accompanying CD contains a complete reading of the text, set to music from Tchaikovsky's ballet. Schulman's adaptation has an appropriately old-fashioned tone.
