Nutcracker Night
Discover the sights, sounds and magic of a night at the ballet that will prepare even the youngest of children for their first theatrical experience
Beep! Beep! go the taxis. Voof! go the velvet curtains. The Nutcracker ballet and New York Citys David H. Koch Theater come to life in this onomatopoeic representation of a little girls experience at the ballet. From the swish of her dress and the tick-tick-tick of the conductors baton to the twelve bongs of the clock and the pitter-patter of dancers feet, this special evening is filled with sensory treats for the eyes and especially the ears. And did she enjoy the ballet? The answer is a big smooch on her fathers cheek.
Written by Mireille Messier, Nutcracker Night is a celebration of a Christmas classic that is often a childs first experience of the ballet. Award-winning illustrator Gabrielle Grimard infuses each scene with warm holiday colors and a richness that will make young readers feel they are really there. An authors note enriches the text with further information and a brief summary of the famous ballet.
