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 City's David H. Koch
Theater come to life in this onomatopoeic representation of a
little girl's experience at the ballet. From the swish of her dress
and the tick-tick-tick of the conductor's 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 father's cheek. Written by Mireille Messier, Nutcracker
Night is a celebration of a Christmas classic that is often a
child's 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 author's note enriches the text with further information and a
brief summary of the famous ballet.
