by Ms Berenice Maria La Placa (Author) , Ms Ambar Gavilano (Author)
NEW!
Delight in the magic of The Nutcracker with this captivating story and activity book.
Clear prose describes the action and charming illustrations make the characters dance on each page.

On Christmas Eve, Clara Stahlbaum receives a wooden doll from her godfather, Drosselmeyer. The toy is painted to look like a soldier and Drosselmeyer reveals that he is called a nutcracker because his jaw opens and closes to crack nuts. Clara is in awe of the gift and goes to bed excited to be reunited with her nutcracker on Christmas Day.
At midnight, Clara suddenly wakes up. She tiptoes downstairs and discovers the nutcracker doll has come to life and is now a dashing prince. Together, they battle the Mouse King, travel through a snowstorm and visit the Land of Sweets.
What better way to relax this Christmas than by reading about Clara’s dream-like adventure and colouring in original designs inspired by the story? The perfect Christmas present for ballet fans.
