REVIEW
I bought this book so my 4 years old would get more familiar with the story before we see the ballet for Christmas. We’ve been reading it while playing extracts of the music with each passage, which is fun. The illustrations are beautiful, and it’s a nice quality board book. We’ve been reading it over and over.
