Children of all ages will cherish this exquisite pop-up for generations to come. The Nutcracker is a holiday tradition for children and adults alike. There are several versions of this Christmas tale, and most people are familiar with the simple adaptation for the ballet. The original, written by E. T. A. Hoffman, presents a more intriguing and complex story featuring a seven-headed Mouse King, the curse of the Hard Nut, and Princess Pirlipat. We hope you enjoy our version of the wonderful original Nutcracker story. AnnotationAft er hearing how the toy nutcracker that she and her brother received for Christmas got his ugly face, Marie helps break the spell he is under and watches him change into a handsome prince. Children's LiteratureA dapted from the original tale by E. T. A. Hoffmann, the Carters have digested the story and presented it with wonderful pop-up scenes. The story opens on Christmas Eve in Herr Drosselmeier's workshop and moves to the Stahlbaum's home and then to a land of enchantment. Marie saves the Nutcraker from the wicked Mouse King and is magically transported to the Nutcracker's kingdom—the Land of Sweets and just as suddenly returns home. Her mother convinces her that it was all a dream, but one day when Marie professes her love to the Nutcracker, the spell that has held him captive is broken. The prince is Drosselmeir's nephew and he and Marie marry and live happily ever after in Candytown. Each part of the story is told through the elaborate three dimensional scenes which are set up to look like stage sets. The paper engineering is delightful, but Marie and the Prince are not that appealing—they look like cartoon characters. 2000, Little Simon, $19.95. Ages 5 up. Reviewer: Marilyn Courtot

Serfozo, Mary; Carter, David A. There's a Square A Book About Shapes
Cartwheel Books 1996 0590544268 / 9780590544269 First Edition; First Printing Hardcover As New in As New dust jacket Illustrated by Carter, David A.
as NEW hardcover 1st edition, 1st printing ....All books are mailed in poly envelopes with digital postage/bar-coded for faster delivery with free delivery confirmation/tracking number. ; Story Corner; 0.25 x 8.5 x 7 Inches; 32 pages; Various shapes such as the square, circle, and triangle invite the reader to search and find examples of their use in this book and in other things seen. Geared to board-book graduates, the latest in the Story Corner series takes on the basics of shapes. Serfozo's (Who Said Red? ) streamlined rhyming text invites readers to look closely at the art ("An oval, you know, looks a lot like an O. / Here's a great oval show!") ; its perky rhythms form a sturdy springboard for Carter's (How Many Bugs in a Box? ) typically offbeat cut-out creations. Depicted in sunny yet subtle contemporary hues, stick-limbed triangular tots play near a geodesic jungle gym; a circle mom and her two little dots gaze out with round, permanently astonished expressions. If not as unfettered as many Carter confections, it is nonetheless a spot-on preschool pleaser. Ages 2-4. (Feb. )
