The Nutcracker (Cozy Classics)

Author(s): Jack Wang

Children's fiction

The Cozy Classics series is the brainchild of two brothers, both dads, who were thinking of ways to teach words to their very young children. They hit upon the classics as the basis for their infant primers, and the rest, as they say, is history. Every classic book in the series is condensed to twelve child-friendly wordsâaccompanied by beautiful hand-felted scenesâthat accurately and humourously summarize each book's plot. Here are some of the Great Books of Western Literature for toddlers and their parents in board book formâa little bit serious, a little bit ironic, entirely funny and clever and always a welcome gift.
