The story is based mostly on the Tchaikovsky ballet, rather than the original story by E.T.A Hoffmann (neither is credited). However it is true to the "narrative" and the "characters" of the dance. The illustrations are serviceable but not outstanding, and look like they came from a Saturday morning cartoon. The colors are very bright, which is perhaps approriate to the tale. Could be read by a 3rd grader with some help.
Wikipedia: The music is by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky, his Opus 71, an 1892 two-act "fairy ballet". The plot is an adaptation of E. T. A. Hoffmann's 1816 short story The Nutcracker and the Mouse King. The ballet's first choreographer was Marius Petipa.
