A review by marshaskrypuch
Nutcracker Night by Mireille Messier

5.0

I love the concept of this book, and the patterning it provides. This would be the perfect book to read with a child under the age of 7 or so, especially before they go to their first live theatre event. With an economy of words, Messier has brilliantly captured the sights and sounds an adult might take for granted but a child would be entranced by. Grimard's fresh and inviting artwork is perfectly matched for the text, focusing on the whimsical theatrical details that will delight a child on that first visit. This is a book a child will go back to time and again.
