Mary Engelbreit's Nutcracker

Description

It is the night before Christmas! When Marie receives a handsome wooden Nutcracker from her dear uncle, she's thrilled. But during the night, something magical happens...and when her toy Nutcracker transforms into a handsome Prince, Marie is whisked off to Toyland on a winter adventure she'll never forget! The Nutcracker is one of the world's favorite holiday stories. Now for the first time the beloved artist Mary Engelbreit offers her vision of that magical night, creating a picture book filled with joyful movement and rich detail that even the youngest child will enjoy.

Mary Engelbreit can rightly be called the Queen of Christmas! Her version of Clement C. Moore's The Night Before Christmas is a perennially strong seller with sales close to a one million since September '06. This New York Times bestselling author and head of Mary Engelbreit Studios-famous for its greeting cards, gifts, magazine, and other licenses-has fulfilled her childhood dream to become a children's book illustrator with such favorites as Mary Engelbreit's Mother Goose, Mary Engelbreit's Nursery Tales, and Mary Engelbreit's Fairy Tales.
