The fairy tale of Tchaikovsky's great ballet The Nutcracker as a sound book!

Interspersed throughout the tale, ten musical selections provide a sampling platter the ballet's most beautiful themes – the Spanish dancers (chocolate), the Chinese dancers (tea), the Russian dancers (candy canes), theFrench mirliton players (marzipan), the Flower Waltz – a tantalizing taste that will only leave them wanting to learn more about the full Nutcracker suite.
With stunning, well-chosen words, Pierre Coran has adapted this tale for the youngest readers without sacrificing any of its flavor. Illustrator Julia Spiers whisks us off to a poignant and enchanting world, a graphic take on a classic.
