It wasn't like the other nutcracker story but it was good and I have read it many times. It has an ice queen and a candy person a nutcracker and a little girl.

A magical retelling of the timeless classic. It was wondrous and entertaining but more like a story to tell to children at bedtime which guarantee sweet dreams. If you want an adventure read this is not what you are looking for. It is basic reading so pretty much any age can understand it and learn to read it. The illustrations are colourful and eyecatchingly exquisite. Definitely enchanting. It even comes with a CD that you can just whack in if you don't want to read it yourself or if you have no one to read it for you. Most I think would opt to reading it themselves. A tale for all ages.

A lovely edition of a timeless story, great size of text for first readers with not too much on each page and beautifully illustrated.

Cute. Not the best, but still quite satisfactory on the magical-ness of the Nutcracker.

Sadly, my copy didn't have the CD to read along. I'll have to find that.
