This is a fairly new Babylit Board Book for little ones featuring the story of “The Nutcracker.” I bought this book for my 1-year-old, and my 5-year-old (who is in ballet and loves the dancing pictures) was equally invested as I read it; they made me read it three times. They loved the lovely illustrations and the simple story, and after I’d read it, my 1-year-old kept looking at the pictures of the mice on his own. It’s a great book to start sharing the story of “The Nutcracker,” and a perfect Christmas story to give.
