THERE IS NO better way to introduce children to classical music than with Prokofiev’s musical fairy tale of the little boy who, with the help of a bird, outsmarted the big, bad wolf. 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.
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.
This special presentation of Peter & The WolfÓ is a creative collaboration which brings together an exciting interpretation of Russian composer Sergei Prokofiev's much-loved masterpiece with a fully illustrated book. The CD recording features the musical talents of Gavin Friday & the Friday-Seezer Ensemble & accompanies a clothbound book showcasing Irish rock star Bono's unique style of illustration, created with the assistance of his daughters Jordan & Eve. The result is a musical & visual experience that breathes new life into this timeless story. Also contained on the enhanced CD are a behind-the-scenes documentary as well as photographs & original drawings. Beautiful maroon gift slipcase!
