Book Reviews of Sergei Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf: With a Fully-Orchestrated and Narrated CD
Book Review: A for illustrations, D for text, B+ for audio narration
Summary: 3 Stars
I agree that there is no reason to change the ending of the story and it is weaker for it. However, the illustrations are terrific, and I haven't been able to find many options for a Peter and the Wolf illustrated book that are not 'cartoon-ish'. The audio narration is also quite good so I'd give that a B+.

Summary of Sergei Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf: With a Fully-Orchestrated and Narrated CD
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.General Books
