The Story Orchestra: Four Seasons in One Day

Join little Isabelle and her faithful pup, Pickle, on an epic adventure that's sure to tug at your heartstrings. As the seasons change, Isabelle carries a tiny apple tree, witnessing its growth from bud to blossom to bare branches. But that's not all; as you journey through the lush illustrations by the talented Jessica Courtney-Tickle, you'll press buttons to hear 10 snippets from the iconic Four Seasons violin concerti.

Now, get ready for some interactive fun! Make sure to press those buttons firmly to activate the soundboard nestled at the back of the book. It's not just about reading; it's about engaging and learning through play. This immersive experience introduces children to the beauty of classical music in a way that's both entertaining and educational.

But wait, there's more! Flip to the end and you'll find a brief biography of the maestro himself, Antonio Vivaldi. Dive deeper into the magic of The Four Seasons as you replay the musical excerpts and explore discussions on instruments, rhythms, and musical techniques. And fear not, music novices; a handy glossary is on standby to decode any unfamiliar terms.

The Story Orchestra series doesn't just tell stories; it brings classical music to life in a way that captivates young minds. With gorgeously illustrated tales and 10-second sound clips straight from the orchestral scores, it's an experience like no other. Plus, with The Story Orchestra keyboard sound books, little ones can even try their hand at playing those famous melodies on a real grand piano.
