Book Reviews of Peter and the Wolf

Book Review: A Well-Illustrated Visual Focal Point for the Orchestral Classic
Summary: 4 Stars

Here is another illustrated version of Peter and the Wolf. Mikolaycak's paintings are more realistic than Beck's Peter & the Wolf, and they express a brave and dramatic mood very fitting for Prokofiev's wonderful musical creation. They are just a little more frightening than Beck's, but still aren't very scary. Carlson's translation of the piece is quite smooth, but it will fall to an adult to explain which musical instruments are represented by each character. It is, however, more widely available than Beck's version.
