'The Nutcracker has got to be the best way to introduce children to the joys of ballet - and this sound book will really capture their attention.'
- Parents in Touch

'a clever way to show the way music and narrative combine and Courtney-Tickle's illustrations are fittingly festive.' - Achuka

We love the Story Orchestra books in my house. Not only the stories and illustrations are stunning, but the music is also breathtaking.
📚
The Nutcracker is the story of a little girl, Clara, who receives a nutcracker toy for Christmas and on Christmas Eve the toy comes to life. Then Clara embarks in a wonderful adventure in the land of sweets, until she wakes up on Christmas Day not knowing if it was all only a dream.
📚
Both my kids (1yro and 4yro) are absolutely crazy about this book and is easy to understand why. It’s a true gem!

Quality, beautiful book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 1 July 2018

Verified Purchase

I really love these books and so do my children. We bought two at Christmas and they're still by the bed being frequently read and played with.

The story is good and just the right length for bed time, the music is lovely and is a good introduction for both them and us, I wasn't brought up listening to classical music so simple introductions like this really appeal to me. The illustrations are beautiful and the book has a lovely quality feel to it.

The buttons are a little hard to press but once my 3 year old got the hang of it he's been fine, he will also happily go to the back of the book at the end and press all the buttons to listen to the music again.

Son of a nutcracker! :)

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 4 October 2019

Verified Purchase

From some of the reviews, I was expecting this book to be a bit underwhelming, but it was the opposite for me! I was amazed the moment I took it out of the packaging, it was twice the size I was expecting, and the cover is just absolutely exquisite. Lovely gold foiled details, a fabric-y finish, and such wonderful art, a real cosy festive feel. :) It would make a lovely Christmas gift for little ones. On the inside of the book, the fabulous art got better and better with every page, and the story whilst condensed for children has not lost any of its magic.

I was expecting the usual tinny/crackly musical book sound, but the sound quality in this book is superb, it doesn't sound artificial at all, it sounds like you're in a room with an orchestra. The 'button' mechanism is one I've never come across before: essentially all the trigger pads are incorporated into the final (rigid) page of the book, but you press a coloured circle on each preceding page, which aligns with the relevant trigger pad underneath the other pages. It sounds complicated but it isn't, it's a very simple experience, and I didn't have any trouble getting each circle to play.

My only quibble is that I purchased two of these books (one as a Christmas gift), and one of them arrived without the plastic pull tab in the battery case that preserves the battery life until you remove it. The book still worked, but obviously it will not last as long as the one that still had the tab in it. For that reason I purchased spare batteries (they're low cost) to go with the gift book, and I recommend others do the same, just in case. :)

Absolutely beautiful book

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 April 2019

This is such a beautiful book. The illustrations are stunning. My 5yr old loves the music and it’s a great way to introduce this genre to her. There’s also no ‘tinny’ sound that you often get with music/sound books. She asks for this, and The Four Seasons Book every night at bedtime. Expensive for a children’s book, but so beautiful and with a lovely story, well worth the money. Would make a really beautiful present.

Beautiful Christmas Gift

Beautiful Christmas Book
Amazed ever since I took it out of the package. Way larger than expected. The colours and music are absolutely beautiful.
Shame that the music is so short so you have to keep pressing the button.
Great little gift and definitely a book to keep for years.

Lovely, but ...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 5 November 2017

Verified Purchase

This is a lovely book, and obviously the music is just wonderful. The only problem I have with it is that the buttons that trigger the music need a very firm push, and even I have struggled with them. The other thing is that they aren't really buttons ... just a printed circle on the page: this is no problem for anyone who can read and understand, but I bought the book for my son who has severe autism. He has many books with buttons that trigger music and sounds and he loves them. Unfortunately with this one he has no clue where to press, and hasn't got the required strength to do it. So for my purposes the book isn't too useful, but for others I'm sure it would be lovely.
