Well done!

There is A LOT of content in this app. It introduces the Nutcracker story in a semi-animated cartoon and then the rest of the story is revealed through pictures and a narrator. The illustrations are beautiful. There are logic/reason games and also just-for-fun type games (like making a cake or dressing up Clara.) The Christmas theme is heavy so probably most enjoyable in December. The file is huge and takes quite a bit of memory on your iOS device; I'll probably delete it for now and bring it back next winter. Thank you for making it free for a short time; but I'd probably pay at least a couple dollars for an app with this much to offer.

Superb App!!!

My children have been entertained for hours! Beautifully designed, it's so much fun and educationally challenged as well. This has become our new favorite bed time activity! Thank you!!!

Fun App

(I solved my earlier sound problem). This app is a bit hard to navigate - when you finish an activity like trimming the tree or dressing Klara, it seems that you have to go to the "Table of Contents" or "Main Menu" icon, which are activated by touching on the little white Nutcracker in the upper corner. There's a lot of content here.
