- This is a beautifully illustrated book of the classic tale. I bought it to accompany the Leonard Bernstein CD that includes Peter And The Wolf along with other children's classics. I'm a retired high school teacher, and I refuse to get my grandchildren a video version of this story. Frankly, I think that kids get far too much video entertainment, and many can't ride even a few minutes in a car without having a favorite video playing in the back seat. Yep- I'm old school... Can't help myself!
My 5-year-old grandson got both the book and CD from me for Christmas, and loves them. No, he can't read the book yet, but he can look at the illustrations while he actually LISTENS to the recording. Then he can grow into the book as he builds his reading skills. - The best! Had this years ago for my daughter & misplaced it so bought replacement here last week. Our 6 yr old grandson LOVED it & had a ball learning which instrument went with which character. Then we got another audio book version & googled YouTubes & went to the library for the DVD that won an award a couple of years ago. We are now obsessed! What a fun way to expose children to the orchestra! It helps that my grandson already has a nice appreciation for classical music! Never thought I'd see the day, but playing classical at times during his visits as a baby & toddler must have done something right!
- I grew up on this version of Peter and the Wolf. The music is so amazing and wonderful but in combination with the hard cover book it is fantastical! It teaches children about musical instruments and tells a great story at the same time. Genius. I recently helped my Mom purchase a new version of the book and a CD separately but it is not the same caliber that this one was. I only wish they would redo this so that it was the same book with a CD or mp3 files instead. I know I would purchase several copies! What makes this combo is the fact that they were made for one another. The book lines up with the cassette perfectly.
The pages are soft and smooth and the colors of the illustrations are so vivid. The illustrations themselves are wonderful and detailed. The music is perfect - no volume mishaps with not being able to hear the dialogue as I've read with some of the newer versions. The combo comes in a thick box-like sheath with a pocket for the cassette on the side and another bigger pocket for the book as well just below it. This helps keep both in pristine condition. I still have my copy from when I was a child and I look forward to sharing the enchanting experience with my children in the future.
Conclusion The idea of teaching children about classical music and the classical instruments is wonderful enough without having a wonderful, colorful book to help feed their imagination. This is a wonderful combo and is well worth the small price. Even if you don't have a cassette player, the book alone would be well worth the purchase. - I have loved this particular version of Peter & the Wolf for many years. Ian Beck's illustrations have a life of their own but remind me of something between Joan Walsh Anglund and Mary Engelbreit. I used to own this as a hardback but sold it when I left the elementary classroom. I was surprised when it arrived as a very thin paperback, but it does make life a bit easier.
- To be purchased along with the audio CD of Peter and the Wolf, as narrated by Boris Karloff.
- I bought this for some 3-5 year olds that I teach at a homeschool co-op to look at while listening to the music by Prokofiev. For some reason I was expecting a hardback book (despite having ordered a paperback), and a landscape layout. I think landscape layout would work better for children so that they could open the book and it would stay open without them holding it, and hardback would make it more sturdy, but apart from these (frankly minor) "flaws", it is a delightful story with beautiful pictures--I love the glimpse into another culture through the illustrations.
- Disappointing story line. Illustrations were good but the story its self is a let down. It got thrown into our pile of books we don’t read. My kids are 2 and 5 and don’t love it.
- My 5 year old and 2 year old love the story of peter and the wolf so we had to own the book. I don’t love the illustrations in this book but my kids seem to enjoy it!
