SynopsisTHERE 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.", 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).

A great book to introduce students to a classic piece of music and instruments. A fun way to do it through story and music. But not w/out the CD.
The book did not come with the CD that was noted in the Title of the book. I know that you say that the CD may not be included, but with this type of book it needs to be noted if it is included or not. The book really isn't much good without the music of Peter and the Wolf as the book is narrated. That is the point of the whole book and as stated in it's title. I am a music teacher and so it is important that the student could listen to the actually music and narration while looking at the book.
Thank you.
