rating: 4 QuotePeter & the Wolf - DVDQuote
Does an excellant job of capturing my 4 1/2 year daughter's imagination. She had already heard the story read to her. Seeing this video/audio presentation gave her tangible and enjoyable experiences for the characters, the story, and of course the connection between the musical instruments and the characters.

I have used this version of Peter and the Wolf (originally on VHS) for years in teaching elementary music. My only frustration is that the dialogue obscures many of the musical themes. However, the feature at the end of the story - "The Musical World of..." makes up for this somewhat. I frequently show that section first.

In addition, the DVD has a "game" on matching various animals with instruments which is extremely good for K thru 2nd.

The production is ideal for a family and can be adapted well for classroom. March 8, 2008

Please contact me as you sent me a cd that has a crack in it. It will not play. I was trying to show it to my class at school and was very disappointed that it was damaged. This is the second time I've received a defective cd from you. February 12, 2008

I've shown other versions of Peter and the Wolf to my students which were fine. This version has an interesting mix of non-fiction and fantasy and is more contemporary, helping students to relate well. January 3, 2008

rating: 5 QuoteLots of value for the money!Quote
This DVD was well worth the less than $10 I paid for it. I am using it at school and my students have been mesmerized. The extra features are an added bonus - an introduction to instruments of the orchestra and the cutest game! There are 25 different combinations in the game in which you can match an instrument sound with an animal. This DVD is a fresh approach to a classic story! October 18, 2007
