Books of the week: Peter and the Wolf


Unfortunately, we missed the Lollipop Concert this weekend. I wasn't organized enough and when I called all the shows were sold out. However, we didn't stay without listening to Sergei Prokofiev. As soon as I found out that we wouldn't be able to go to the concert, I remembered that a couple of years ago I had bought this version, of the classic tale of Peter and the wolf, adapted by Janet Schulman that came with a CD, in which the story is narrated along with the original music composed by S. Prokoviev. 

Each instrument or family of instruments of the orchestra represent a character of the story. This is all explained at the beginning of the book and the CD, so it makes it really easy for the children to follow the story and pay attention to the music. F liked it so much that we ended up having breakfast both Saturday and Sunday listening to Peter and the Wolf.
