Each hardback storybook pairs Katy Flint's gentle retelling of a ballet, suite or opera with Jessica Courtney-Tickle's lavish illustrations and press-button sound clips, so children hear real orchestral excerpts as the story unfolds, making music come alive on the page.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Books\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nSwan Lake retells Tchaikovsky's ballet classic, following Prince Siegfried as he meets a mysterious swan princess and confronts the sorcerer Von Rothbart, with buttons releasing excerpts from the score. Carnival of the Animals follows two curious brothers who discover a hidden animal kingdom, meeting a royal lion, lumbering elephants, a lonely tortoise and shimmering fish, each accompanied by Saint-Saëns's playful suite. The Magic Flute brings Mozart's opera to younger readers through Prince Tamino's quest, chased by a dragon and sent by the Queen of the Night to rescue Princess Pamina with a magic flute and Papageno's enchanted bells. Every book includes a short composer biography, an introduction to the instruments used in each excerpt, and a glossary of musical terms. The sturdy press buttons release ten-second clips of real orchestras (and, in The Magic Flute, singers), turning every page turn into an audio-visual event. Together the three volumes form a cohesive introduction to ballet, orchestral suites and opera, designed to spark a lifelong love of classical music.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree interactive hardback sound books\u003c\/strong\u003e featuring genuine orchestral recordings on every spread\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eIntroduces classical music concepts\u003c\/strong\u003e — ballet, orchestral suite and opera, explained simply for children\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBeautifully illustrated\u003c\/strong\u003e by Jessica Courtney-Tickle, bringing each character and scene vividly to life\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComposer biographies, glossaries and musical insights\u003c\/strong\u003e add lasting educational value\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSturdy, durable pages and buttons\u003c\/strong\u003e built for repeated little-hands use\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePerfect gift\u003c\/strong\u003e for young music lovers, first libraries, classrooms and music lessons\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nKaty Flint is a children's book author, editor and musician based in London who studied violin at Southampton before moving into publishing; she has written several titles in the bestselling Story Orchestra series.
