The Nutcracker
Based on the Balanchine ballet, this sumptuous package is the perfect gift for any fan of The Nutcracker-young or old. The nicely balanced text (not too much, not too little) captures all the best moments and sets the stage for Alison Jay’s richly imagined art. Sharp-eyed readers will notice tiny details playing out thrillingly over the course of the story (keep an eye on the gifts under the Christmas tree!). From the cozy Christmas party to the delectable Marzipan Palace, Alison Jay’s artwork is truly enchanting-a snow-globe version of The Nutcracker to read every night before Christmas and all winter long.
“One of the loveliest picture books based on Hoffman’s story, which inspired the familiar ballet The Nutcracker, this volume offers lively illustrations and a concise, smoothly written version of the dreamlike tale.”
–Carolyn Phelan, Booklist

Curiosity Killed The Cat
Hannah isn’t thrilled to be moving in with her dad and his new family, who live right next to a spooky cemetery. Luckily, Hannah doesn’t believe all the “ghost cat” stories she’s heard about the graveyard. Not so luckily, the cemetery is the least of Hannah’s troubles. Her stepsister, Madison, is the meanest girl in Hannah’s grade. Her cat, Icky, has been missing since the move. And worst of all, Hannah can’t sleep at night: Something keeps scratching at her door, but when she looks for it, nothing is ever there! Hannah’s starting to wonder — could those scary stories be true after all?
Curiosity Killed the Cat has been translated into French and Japanese.
