The Nutcracker: A Pop-Up Book

16 pp. | HarperCollins/Tegen | October, 2008 | Trade ISBN 978-0-06-117060-7 $24.99
(4) K-3 This retelling of Hoffmann's Christmas classic features a brief, direct text and elaborate paper-engineering. Although the writing is uninspired, the book will help young children become familiar with the story, perhaps before or after seeing the ballet performance. The illustrations sparkle and twinkle appropriately.
