Welcome to Litsy!

“It was the Nutcracker, now a boy, on his feet and on the move.“

As the sky grew the color of sugar plum and the snow became many shades of blue, hundreds of tiny flames appeared, and the lanterns illuminated the path.

This is a great choice for a story during the winter season. You can also read different versions of The Nutcracker and have students compare the similarities and differences between different stories.

This book would be wonderful to read to children during the winter seasons. It is more interesting than the original story to me personally, as it adds elements of fantasy when the children are actually transformed into the world of the nutcracker with beautiful illustrations. The book would be best used when analyzing the illustrations to understand the characters.

This rendition of The nutcracker by Jan Brett published in 2021 has such beautiful illustrations with such detail that you want to stay on the page long after you're done reading the words. This story takes special parts of the original ballet and ties it in with little changes following the story of Marie and her brother on a Christmas Journey.

This book is a great story for younger children
