The Harlem Nutcracker

The Harlem Nutcracker written by Susin Kuklin, is an enchanting book. Although it is taken from a ballet by Donald Byrol it is written like a fairytale. Susin Kuklin's beutiful pictures capture the dancers' feelings which we feel so deeply. The words are a perfect accompaniment. Although there are some scary moments I recommend this book to kids from 8 years old and up.
