This is a good and comprehensive retelling of the classic tale of The Nutcracker. The text ran a bit too long to make it a single-sitting book for a six-yeear-old, but there is a place for longer picture books in our home library.
The illustrations are lovely, but oddly straightforward compared to some of the work in other books illustrated by Puybaret. I would have that the story of The Nutcracker would lend itself perfectly to Puybaret's whimsical and magical style, but, instead, he kept the artwork comparatively subdued.
