I enjoyed reading this one aloud to my daughter. The story is short and the pacing is very good. The characters are all three dimensional and completely believable. There is a current of mystery and tension that keeps things moving along. Author Susan Adrian is particularly good at realistic dialog and familiar family and school settings. The balloon lands beside the puppet theatre. Dancers from all over the world come to life and leap out of the theatre. The Mouse King is finally vanquished by the heroic nephew and a magnificent celebration begins. The dancers perform divertissements. The puppet theatre disappears to reveal a beautiful garden, amongst which dancers perform the Waltz of the Flowers. Finally, Clara dances a glorious pas de deux as the Sugar Plum Fairy with the Nephew as the Prince. They are joined by all the characters from around the world.

Frank Baum, were on some kind of drugs when they wrote their most popular books? LOL!! Curiosamente parece que hay cierto desconocimiento o confusión sobre esta obra. Pensando que la original es la de Alexandre Dumas. Si bien de la Adaptación de Dumas se desprenden ..la obra de Ballet, la composición musical e infinidad de adaptaciones: graficas,animadas,etc .y por estos medios es altamente conocida la premisa. Pero en definitiva la original es la de Hoffmann. All kinds of wonderful and extraordinary things may there be seen by those who have eyes sharp enough to discover them.”The ballet takes place in Germany in the early 19th century. The curtain rises on a Christmas Eve party in the Silberhaus home. Guests arrive. The children get their presents, then dance about the room. Like many writers of his day, Hoffmann is verbose, and his characters are prone to melodramatic exclamations that would sound over-the-top from anyone, but especially from a seven-year-old girl and a boy of about twelve. Our author often seems to forget just how young his main characters are, and apparently he doesn't see anything creepy about a marriage between a groom of about thirteen and an eight-year-old bride. Huh boy.
