The Nutcracker illustrated by Valeria Docampo.  BOARD BOOK. Little Simon, 2018.  $8.  9781534428430

BUYING ADVISORY: Pre-K - OPTIONAL

AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE

I ADORE the picture book original of this classic tale.  I am a HUGE fan of Docampo’s illustration style.  However – in this version,  the smaller format illustrations accompanied by large amounts of text does not work. A large format board book would have been better.  Buy the original hardcover, not this one.
