Peter and the Wolf Audiobook

" I actually have this on CD and forgot so listened to it today. I could listen to it over and over. Its been my favourite since I was little. I love the Disney film of it "

" This retelling is a bit flat and the pictures don't capture the drama and tension of the events. Still, it could be helpful with the "Peter and the Wolf" music playing in the background. "

" My students ADORE this book, and this version in particular. Beautiful illustrations, nice big print and a sweet introduction of all the members of the orchestra in the preface. A perennial favorite for us- this book is literally falling apart from so much love! "

" My preschooler enjoyed this retelling. Each character is introduced on their own page, with the facing page framed like a stage and illustrating the action when that character enters the play. The nonsense words and repetition are great for preschoolers. Mine enjoyed it at least. But then, she's obsessed with wolves! "

" I liked this story a lot because of the illustrations. The story was definitely for younger kids though. The plot was made a little easier to read because of the dialog. I am planning on teaching older kids so I would not read this in my classroom but it was pretty entertaining. I liked the pictures and it would be good to read out loud. The classic story is always nice to hear. "

" Great illustrations. A childhood favorite. I think we had a record that we played along with it... "

" I did like how it ended with a visit to the veterinarian. "

" I only read this book because Bono's drawings is in it. "

" This one is amazing. The puppet show format and the graphic design elements convey so much energy and joy! "

" Raschka turns Peter and the Wolf into a stage play - the construction itself is worth seeing. It would have been even cooler if he would have just made it a pop-up. "

" The duck is not as lucky as Peter. Peter and the bird use teamwork to catch the wolf and enjoy the fact that captured the wolf with the help of the hunters to a place in the zoo. "

" Just awful:( "

" interesting use of being Russian. "

" I don't love the story of Peter and the Wolf but this combination of Raschka's amazing illustrations and text that reads like music was surprisingly delightful. "

" Interesting illustrations and just the oddest, jumbled verses of a story retelling. "

" Retells the orchestral fairy tale in which a boy ignores his grandfather's warnings and captures a wolf with the help of a bird, a duck, and a cat. "

" This is a nicely illustrated picture book of Peter and the Wolf. It makes it clear to the child that normally that is performed on a stage to music. "

" A stand-out favorite of my little one, who made us listen to this daily for a couple of weeks after hearing it at music camp. We much preferred this classic version to the pomo Chris Raschka one. "

" This should be a Caldecott! "

" Cool pictures, but if you don't know the music, this is going to be difficult to follow. And I have no idea how you'd read it aloud. "

" This is a good, simple retelling of the story. The author/illustrator includes illustrations of the instruments that Prokofiev used for each animal in his composition. "

" The sounds created through the words in the book were pretty neat but I was not a fan of this style (I'm the first to admit I am not the most cultured or artistic person so maybe I don't appreciate true "art"). "

" I only read this book because Bono's drawings is in it. "

" I actually have this on CD and forgot so listened to it today. I could listen to it over and over. Its been my favourite since I was little. I love the Disney film of it "

" Cool pictures, but if you don't know the music, this is going to be difficult to follow. And I have no idea how you'd read it aloud. "

" this is a terrific interpretation, the illustrations are spot-on. almost as good as the ballet. "

" If you can find it, this is the best version of Peter and the wolf. The pictures are simple, but nice, and all the melodies are printed in musical notation. "

" Read any other version, I implore you. This one is nonsense. With that said, I'm a fan of Chris Raschka's illustrations, but they don't do enough to save the ridiculous interpretation. "

" Great illustrations. A childhood favorite. I think we had a record that we played along with it... "

" I prefer the audio book because the music is fabulous "
