xmas book 13|The Nutcracker

The Nutcracker (Scholastic Junior Classics) (Mass Market Paperback)
by E.T.A. Hoffmann, Jane B. Mason (Adapter)

Book Description
It's Christmas Eve and Marie has found a funny-looking nutcracker under the tree. Marie's godfather says this nutcracker once saved a beautiful princess from a horrible spell cast by the wicked Mouse Queen. But Nutcracker is in danger-the Mouse King seeks revenge! Now Nutcracker must face off against the seven-headed King of Mice-and he needs Marie's help to win the battle!

Reason why I recommend this book...
It's neat to get your kid's reading the classics, and a great way to introduce them to them is to buy adaptations. My 10 year old LOVED reading this book last year.
