Barbie: The Nutcracker (Little Golden Book)

This is a great introduction to the Nutcracker. Beautiful pictures and brief text. It's a quick bedtime read or a short story to accompany recommended Tchaikowsky classical CD of Ballet fame.

My 4 year old daughter loves the Nutcracker, but we were disappointed that this book contains an overly abbreviated version with cartoon drawings rather than a nice photo like you see on the cover.
