Beautiful illustrations and very interesting information. I learned all sorts of things I had not previously known on this top. This book will most definitely be being purchased for my library. ( )

If seeing or performing "The Nutcracker" is a tradition in your young family, be sure to share this book about three Utah brothers who made this ballet an intrinsic part of the winter holidays. The background knowledge will enhance the experience. I know I learned something new! ( )
