Book Reviews of Peter and the Wolf
Book Review: Highly recommended!
Summary: 5 Stars
When I was a little girl I loved to listen to the story of Peter and the Wolf. As an adult, I have grown to love celtic music and traditional Irish instruments. So when this set came out I was eager to purchase it -- and I was thrilled with what I got.The music is beautifully performed by the Friday-Seezer ensemble. Each instrument comes alive as the animal it is supposed to represent. While the music is definitely Prokofiev (no doubt about that) it has an Irish flavor that is just enchanting.
Although I wasn't too keen on the pictures when I viewed them on a website, I thought they worked wonderfully in this book accompanied by the music.
And last, but not least, Gavin Friday cannot get enough credit for his wonderful narration of the story.
All in all, the story is whimsical and fun, just like I remembered it to be. I agree with the other reviewer that it would be nice if the book were larger, but aside from that I have nothing but praise for this set.

Summary: 5 Stars
This CD and book set is absolutely wonderful. Maurice Seezer and Gavin Friday have done a fantastic job of the musical arrangements and Gavin's voice is perfect. The illustrations by Bono and his two girls are perfect, it just shows how talented they all are. I have purchased this as a gift that my 18 month old daughter will hopefully have forever and I will make sure that I also get a copy for my soon-to-be-born son.Book Review: Wonderful package (CD, Book)
Summary: 5 Stars
My husband bought this to share with our seven year old and he had fun following along while his dad turned the pages.
I took it to my preschool class and shared it during storytime one day and they loved it. It held their attention and was entertaining to them.
The illustrations are not too wild for children. They are very child-like.
Anything that has double enterder is for adult minds, not theirs.
I recommend it as a wonderfully narrated, musically accompanied and interestingly illustrated adventure.
