Nutcracker

I thought this was such a cute story. I am glad I have finally read it and I will most definitely be reading it again in the future.

I'm so used to seeing the Nutcracker as a ballet that it comes as a big of a shock to see the story in print.

(And, honestly, I'm not sure that I don't prefer it that way.)

Love the Sendak illustrations. Why not, I suggest, just have them? Skip the words which feel redundant. A wordless book, maybe?
