How beautiful!  I wanted to look inside, but this danged dial up was still running after 10 minutes and I finally gave up.  Is the inside as pretty as the cover?
Thanks for sharing Eileen...it's agreat idea!

  Nance and Gail,

You should see a still pic of the cover of The Nutcracker book--two portly but jolly brown bears, she in ballet slippers, tutu, ruff and headpiece, he in ruff and ice skates, dancing the Nutcracker Ballet among the falling snowflakes. An 'enter' link on the right opens on a village scene, which is soon covered by decorated Christmas trees moving in from both sides. Finally a golden egg rises, opens, and reveals the Sugarplun Fairy, who does a few pirouettes while the ornaments swing!

The bears are my favorite, but the rest is charming too!

If you want to try again, you might go to www.nationalballet.ca and find the link to the Nutcracker. I do love those bears!
