Big fans of Ella Bella books! They are all wonderful! This is our favorite.

The Nutcracker is a beautiful but very long story that has been made into an exquisite ballet. This picture book retells the story of the Nutcracker in a simplified manner for a younger audience. I think it is perfect for the 4-8 year old. The narrative is uncomplicated and the pictures are very appealing.

Personally, I think this is a perfect introductory book. It would be great to read this prior to seeing an actual live performance of the Nutcracker. It is well written, explicit and packed with beautiful illustrations.

I highly recommend this book for a young ballerina!

Beautiful illustration! The book is quite long and just barely fits in our IKEA cubes, so keep that in mind. This will be a wonderful Christmas Ballet book for our 3 year old.

This book is a lovely introduction to the world of The Nutcracker in a playful, unique storyline involving Ella Bella. The illustrations are lovely and colorful.

Even though my daughter was 7 when I bought it for her, I think it was just right for her English-reading skills, considering that English is her second language. It helps a lot that she's been a huge ballet fan and ballerina since she was 4.

So if your little one is into ballet, this is definitely a good reading!

This is a great book for my beginner reader granddaughter who loves ballet.

This is a nice story book. It kept the interest of my 5 year old daughter and requested it often for bedtime story. It should keep the interest of any girl that like ballet and familiar the Nutcracker story. We have kept it as part of the Christmas collection of books that gets brought down from the attic each year; to keep the variety. The hardcover book is standard thickness with nothing unusuall about the construction of the book itself.

We are fans of the Ella Bella Ballerina series. My daughter loves The Nutcracker play so I knew this would be a good choice. We are more than pleased with the story line of this book and the illustrations. The story is simplified of course from the full version, but still retains the essence of The Nutcracker. My daughter asks for me to read this book again and again. It's a winner :)

nice into to the arts in a lovely storybook format
