Overview

These colorful, beautifully illustrated volumes are accompanied by CDs featuring Leonard Bernstein narrating Sergei Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf, and Michael Tilson Thomas conducting Peter Ilyich Tchaikovsky's The Nutcracker. Engaging introductions to classical music for children, Peter and the Wolf and The Nutcracker allow parents to bring their young ones into the world of the concert hall without leaving the comfort of home. The books include short biographies of the composers and listener's guides introducing children to the characters in Peter and the Wolf and the dances of the Nutcracker. The high-quality CDs are perfect for listening to while reading the books or on their own. Both books and CDs are engaging, entertaining first looks into the world of classical music.

The familiar story of Clara and her Nutcracker Prince is accompanied by background on Tchaikovsky and his well-known ballet.
