“The cut out illustrations are darling and unlike any other book I've read. Cute little holes shaped like snowflakes show next pages through them. The story is short and concise and is a great introduction to this classic tale.”

“This is a really delightful board book version of The Nutcracker. It summarizes the holiday classic to a length that will entertain but not bore young audiences. The details of the book, including the print design with delightful snowflakes punched in some pages, are really well done.”
