Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf

It would be a crime to do Russian studies with a five-year-old and not visit Sergei Prokofiev and Peter and the Wolf. I think most people agree that Peter and the Wolf is the best introduction to classical music for children. Gerrick loved this CD and DVD when he was two, but hasn't pulled them out in a really long time.

Elmo's Musical Adventure--The Story of Peter and the Wolf

We enjoyed them both again today and also played this online game. (Thanks for the link, Mom and Kiddo!)

  2. Peter and the Wolf is our favorite! I have forgotten about the days of rocking my babies to sleep to it. Thanks for reminding me of this great piece of music. It has a lot of fond memories for us.

  3. I'll have to check out a copy of the CD and story from the library. I think Princess will like it.
