"Peter and the Wolf: Adapted from the musical tale by Sergei Prokofiev" Erna Voigt (illustrator)

A picture book adaptation of Prokofiev's symphonic tale for children. Written in 1936, the narration tells a Russian folk tale, which the orchestra illustrates by using different instruments to play a "theme" that represents each character in the story. As each new character is introduced, its instrument and musical theme are shown on the page, allowing children to become familiar with the instruments and the musical notations.
