Synopsis

When Herr Drosselmeir gives Marie a nutcracker for Christmas, the Nutcracker comes alive, and Marie enters a magical kingdom of fairies, dolls and royalty! Based on the beloved story by E.T.A. Hoffman, which inspired the famous ballet, this beautifully illustrated gift set containing a 24-page book plus two dioramas is sure to become a holiday favorite.

Children's Literature

An abbreviated version of this holiday story is retold here in rebus form. Kids are invited to place the stickers in their proper places within the text. Even if the stickers are lost (2 sets are included), the story can still be read since there is a blue outline drawing of each object. Each page also contains a list of the words that are represented by the stickers.
