'Lili will capture the dreams of countless balletomanes as she arrives a the theatre to prepare for her debut as a party guest in The Nutcracker... The atmosphere crackles and the book delivers as much enchantment as the ballet itself.'
Kirkus Reviews (pointer review)
'Text and art concentrate on the accomplished young dancers' behind-the-scenes activities - stretching, making up, dressing, rehearsing, and waiting to go on... This romantic offering will fire the imaginations of children looking forward to The Nutcracker experience.'
