Description

A beautiful edition with two stories: a modern retelling of The Steadfast Tin Soldier and a surprising story about a troublesome toy he encounters. With games and riddles, for children ages 5 years and up.

When he arrives in Christian’s room, one toy catches the tin soldier’s eye: the graceful ballerina next to the paper castle. She stands on one leg, just like he does! At midnight, the toys come to life, and the soldier and the ballerina are enchanted with each other. But the very next day, the tin soldier finds himself on an unexpected adventure. He bravely faces danger and never gives up hope. After all, he must return to the toy room and see the beautiful ballerina again!

In the second part of this book, the tin soldier has a new obstacle to overcome. The jack-in-a-box wants to get rid of him. Who will win?
