Book Reviews of Nutcracker
Book Review: One of my favorite books of all time.
Summary: 5 Stars
My mother bought this book for me when I was 7 and it's been in my top five favorite books ever since. The illustrations, the language and the story are all beautiful. I've been a ballet dancer since I was 3 and growing up, I was in many productions of The Nutcracker. I adore the ballet but the whole story is so much more fascinating and complicated. It makes you look at the ballet and the more famous and shortened story in a different light. I think this book would be great for kids, it will teach them more vocabulary, the pictures will stimulate their imaginations and the story is darker, but not too dark or scary, so that will show kids that not everything is black and white and that things can be complicated. Kids past a certain age should begin to learn and understand that not everything in life is beautiful and good... and this book is a very soft and easy way to introduce that concept to a sheltered little kid. E.T.A. Hoffmann was incredibly creative and a great storyteller and Maurice Sendak is just brilliant.
