A Guinea Pig Nutcracker, Hardcover/Alex Goodwin

The universally beloved ballet about Clara and her nutcracker gets the Guinea Pig Classics treatment As the curtain rises, Clara is opening her presents under the Christmas tree. She falls in love with a present from her godfather Drosselmeyer: a wooden Nutcracker. When Clara falls asleep that night, she is swept up in a battle between the Nutcracker (who has become a handsome prince) and the terrible Mouse King. This leads to a magical trip into the realms of fantasy, a sweet-filled wonderland where the beautiful Sugarplum Fairy dances... This is the world-famous ballet, as you've never seen it before.
