This book was purchased for my 6 year old grandson. He very much enjoyed reading it, and it is now one of his favorite books. This classic tale is delightful, and highly recommended to all who like the classics. We also purchased the cd version, narrated by Boris Karloff and featuring Prokofieff's beautiful music. To my surprise, my grandson absolutely loved it. It was easier for him to appreciate the music after having read the book and being familiar with the story.
When I was around 12, my girl scout troop went to Los Angeles to some BIG theatre to see the production of Peter and the Wolf. It was my first show of that kind.. And, boy did I love it!! I then joined the band at school and played the clarinet for a while and then in high school, switched to percussion... I've loved music all my life.. I forgot about the play in my early adulthood, but, thought about it often.. Never seen anything about it though.. Looked around in record stores, nothing. Then, I found E-bay. And, what to my surprize, I found books, records and VHS about it.. I was so excited , I bought it all. Thank you for bringing back a fond childhood memory
I was thrilled to receive this tape. I remembered watching this with my sons when they were little and how much they liked it. The music to it was so well done and the explanation given to the audience of the representation of the various instruments to each character was well done also. I was anxious to share it with my grandchildren now and was so pleased to see how enthralled they were with the story. They laughed at some scenes, were excited at the tension in the scenes with the wolf and relieved at the end when he was captured. They asked me to rewind so they could watch it again and were still transfixed. I wish Disney would think to re-do this in DVD form. It is a classic.
Disney's Peter and the Wolf book is a darling edition of this Russian classic tale. No one can do illustrations like Disney. Peter feels brave and looks cute with a red nose cast of characters in this friendly version. The vivid colors attact attention and kids like looking at the pictures. The story reads quickly but you'll want to spend time on each page enjoying the art.
