The Nutcracker's Night Before Christmas

In The Nutcracker's Night Before Christmas, preparations for a doomed stage production of the classic ballet go from terribly bad to ridiculously worse.

Told in verse with wonderful, whimsical illustrations, this story hits all the right notes for holiday reading.
