Story Orchestra: Peter and the Wolf
£16.99
If you've ever wished story time came with its own soundtrack, this book is pure magic. As Peter tiptoes into the woods, the duck waddles by and the wolf appears from the shadows, children can press the buttons and hear Prokofiev's famous music spring to life. It's one of those rare books that makes everyone stop what they're doing for a moment and listen.
We love it because:
- Combines a classic story with real orchestral music by Prokofiev
- Sound buttons bring the characters and story to life in a wonderfully immersive way
- Beautifully illustrated pages are packed with details to spot and talk about together
- Introduces children to classical music in a playful, accessible way
- Includes extra information about the composer, instruments and musical techniques
- Makes story time feel like a special event rather than just another bedtime book
What's in the box:
