Product Description:
THERE IS NO better way to introduce children to classical music than with Prokofiev’s musical fairy tale of the little boy (played by all the strings of the orchestra) who, with the help of a bird (played by the flute), outsmarted the big, bad wolf (played by the French horns). And now with this book and CD package, children can look and listen all at the same time. A new retelling by Janet Schulman follows the basic story, but with a kinder ending for both the big bad wolf and the argumentative duck. Peter Malone’s paintings have the luminous quality of old Russian masters. The CD, with music performed by the Cincinnati Pops and word-for-word narration by Peter A. Thomas, was made exclusively for this book and CD package.

Excellent production both for children and adults.
The book by itself is excellent, the music alone is excellent, and the combination is a winner.
Without book or music, my 3 year old grandson can recite the whole book and also imitate the musical instruments during his recitation

We recently were able to see the play version at a local children's theater and my daughter became hooked on the music and story line. After weeks of downloading the music on line, we finally bought her this book, and I'm so glad we did! The music is beautiful, and she is able to identify all the characters by the music playing and identify the instruments. We like the gentler story line, as our 4 year old frightens easily. This is a great buy!

my daughter just loves this book, I think the music could be a little shorter in length between pages, but she doesn't seem to mind.

I loved this story as a child and was very pleased to find that my 3 year old nephew does as well. Very good for the imagination!

This is one of the best things I have purchased for my child. Every child should own this, especially in a time where school music programs are being cut. My child's appreciation for the arts has been enriched with this book and CD.
