The Plush Nutcracker Book is a 2-piece set: a sturdy board book telling a rhyming Nutcracker story, plus a soft pink nutcracker plush to hold along the way. The book measures 7 1/2" square and the plush stands 8" — a gentle introduction to a Christmas story most children meet long before they ever see the ballet.

The Gift For A First Nutcracker

Taking a child to The Nutcracker has become a December tradition for a lot of families, and this set is the natural companion to it. Read the story in the weeks before so the performance makes sense, then let the plush come along in the car. It's also a graceful gift for a dance teacher, a young ballet student, or a grandchild you're taking to the show.
