If You Love a Christmas Tale: The Night Before Christmas and the Nutcracker

Artist Susanna Lockheart's large, beautiful color illustrations celebrate the Christmas season by magically changing in their details each time young readers lift and turn a page. The holiday magic behind each Christmas picture is the result of an inventive paper engineering technique that is part of this unusual book's construction. These festive "moving" illustrations dramatize and highlight two favorite Christmas tales, The Nutcracker and The Night Before Christmas. Here is a beautiful book that makes a wonderful holiday gift--a volume that boys and girls will return to and cherish for many Christmases to come.
