Get a front-row seat and experience the excitement of opening night as
young dancers prepare for a performance of The Nutcracker. This
festive holiday picture book, created in partnership with American
Ballet Theatre, is a perfect gift for young readers and dance fans.
'Twas the night before The Nutcracker and, sleepless in their
beds,
these budding ballet dancers are rehearsing in their heads.
Children who dream of dancing in The Nutcracker will love this magical
illustrated holiday story, told in the tradition of The Night Before
Christmas. Four young girls and boys experience the thrills of
auditions, rehearsals, costume fittings, and finally the big event:
opening night! It's a behind-the-scenes peek that will delight young
dancers.
An afterword with original costume illustrations by Tony Award winner
Richard Hudson makes this keepsake picture book both aspirational and
informative.
