{"product_id":"peter-and-the-wolf-9780689856525","title":"Peter and the Wolf","description":"Sergei Prokofiev composed his \u003ci\u003ePeter and the Wolf\u003c\/i\u003e in 1936 with the hope of introducing children to the instruments of the orchestra. It happens that he also devised a wonderfully dramatic story. The characters - boy, bird, duck, cat, grandfather, wolf, hunters - and their doings have been beloved by young and old for decades. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Writer, artist, musician, and Caldecott Medalist Chris Raschka has given the original story a new setting: a stage performance. Here you will relish language inspired music; enjoy mischief, suspense, and triumph in the theater; and delight in a surprise (and an additional character) Prokofiev's merry tale didn't provide.
