BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: SEVERAL
It is Christmas Eve at Clara's house. Clara's godfather, a toymaker, arrives with gifts. He gives Clara a wooden nutcracker. Her brother Fitz breaks it and they are sent to bed. Clara wakes up to fight the mouse king. after she defeats him, her now full grown nutcracker takes her to the Land of Sweets where she watches magical dancers perform beautiful dances. How will she get home, or was tis all a dream?
I Can Play the Nutcracker looks like it will be a lot of fun because it comes with a colored button keyboard / soundboard. On each page, it includes a colored button map to play the melody of that part of the story or dance. I was disappointed. The only melody that I could recognize was Dance of the Sugar Plum Fairy and only because I knew the timing of that melody. There is no real guidance on how long to hold each note.
