The Nutcracker

40 pp. | Sterling | October, 2009 | Trade ISBN 978-1-4027-5562-0 $17.95
(3) K-3 Illustrated by Eric Puybaret. This clear and lively adaptation of Hoffman's classic includes some lesser-known details, provided by Herr Drosselmeier, about the Nutcracker's trials as a young man. The rich colors, smooth shapes, and subtle textures of Puybaret's acrylic on linen illustrations will draw readers into the magical sequence of events. An enchanting gift book for an older picture book audience.
