Praise for The Woodland Nutcracker
A graceful introduction to Tchaikovsky's family-friendliest ballet.
Kirkus Reviews
Pray gives the classic ballet a creaturely spin in this mild-mannered retelling distinguished by airy ink and watercolor illustrations...Just as text proclaims "Nutcracker's world is a perfect delight," so too is this quaint critter-filled rendition.
Publishers Weekly
A potential favorite among picture book retellings...ÂRecommended for all picture book Âcollections, this is a top choice for the very youngest dance fans.
School Library Journal
Pray's text provides youngsters with the ballet's basic essence, emphasizing excitement throughout. Her decorative, loosely drawn ink and watercolor illustrations ("tidied up in Photoshop") feature endearing and expressive anthropomorphized characters in nineteenth-century attire.
