 CD damaged and unplayable September 2, 2005
19 out of 21 found this review helpful
The book is beautiful and what we can hear of the CD is, as well; unfortunately the process used to afix the CD to the book's inside cover leaves gobs of glue on the CD, rendering it unplayable. We have had the product replaced twice, and both times experienced the same problem. A great disappointment!
A story with background music September 1, 2005
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
This version of Peter and the Wolf is clearly an audio story with some musical background. The music takes a clear background to the story telling. This works fairly well on 3 year olds, but it will get old quite fast. Certainly for any adult listening to the music, probably also for the child.
Nice Piece of Work July 29, 2005

My family, which includes children ages 2,5,and 7, has thoroughly enjoyed this production of Peter and the Wolf. The music is wonderful and the narration very nice. It is a nice quiet recording that we will listen to over and over again.
Excellent illustrations and narration. My Kids love it! October 13, 2004

Although I was mildly disapointed with the unnecessary kinder and gentler ending, the book and CD were an excellent choice for my 3 boys, ages 4,6, and 8. This is a good introduction to classical music. We read it alone as well as with the accompanying narrated CD. The illustrations are excellent.
 Fantastic for both parents & children September 22, 2004

A beautifully written & illustrated book with one of the best-loved classical music pieces ever composed.
I thought my son, at just 3 yrs old, would be a little too young to enjoy this yet. I got it for him anyway when I saw it, because I loved it myself as a child.
Never underestimate children or the power of music. My son wants to read/listen to Peter & the Wolf several times a day. He recognizes the French Horn as the wolf, the bassoon as the grandfather! It brings him such delight and provides a wonderful bonding time for us.
