Oh, Dearest Mother, Sweetest Virgin of Altagracia, our Patroness. You are our Advocate and to you we recommend our needs. You are our Teacher and like disciples we come to learn from the example of your holy life. You are our Mother, and like children, we come to offer you all of the love of our hearts. Receive, dearest Mother, our offerings and listen attentively to our supplications. Amen.

I won this new version of The Nutcracker and the Mouse King illustrated by Gail deMarcken in an online giveaway.

We just read it, and, I am embarrased to admit, that I have never read, listened too, or watched anything about "the Nutcracker".

We just loved it. The illustrations are just gorgeous and Gracie has been looking at them for the hour since we finished reading.

I planned on reading this in 2 or 3 sittings because it is long for a picture book, but the kids wouldn't let me stop-- ---even my 3 1/2 year old sat and listened to the whole book for over an hour--(although my 4 year old played nearby, coming over to look at the pictures during the exciting parts)

I am sooooo glad I didn't put this away with the Christmas books until next year!!
