 Great easy teaching tool! January 4, 2007

This book was a great way for my young students to get aquainted with many instrumentes of the orchestra. They loved the story, and the music made it come alive!!
Almost perfect November 6, 2006

I did not like very much the style of the illustrations, but that is really subjective :) Any way - great book, great music, I enjoy it myself (and I am an adult! :)
 not what I hoped for August 22, 2006

Although this book has beautiful music and wonderful pictures, the retelling of the origional story is not very good. Many important elements of the story are changed. The wolf is released back into the wild because he says he is sorry and will try to change. I prefer the origional story and was not expecting changes such as this.
Wow great! March 18, 2006
I bought this book as teaching tool to help my students learn to love classical music and stories. This book cleverly shows them the characters and their music clearly. My classes have been entertained by the excellent recording and clear pictures.
 Disappointing September 29, 2005

The "kinder, gentler" ending removes the dangerous aspect of the wolf. The wolf is intended to represent the evil in the world beyond the garden gate and Peter vanquishes it by being smarter and more agile. Both the threat and the victory are diminished when the wolf simply promises to do better in the future. Yuck.
Politically correct tripe.
