Story Orchestra: The Planets: Press the note to hear Holst's music

A stunning book for any young child. A wonderful intro to both our solar system and these timeless pieces of music.

For those looking to introduce children to classical music in a visually and musically enchanting way, The Planets (Story Orchestra): Press the Note to Hear Holst’s Music is an excellent choice. This interactive book brings Gustav Holst’s The Planets to life through breathtaking illustrations and carefully selected musical excerpts, making it a magical learning experience for young readers. Product Basics & Creators Part of the beloved Story Orchestra series, this book allows children to press a button and hear orchestral excerpts while following an imaginative journey through space. The book's author is Jessica Courtney-Tickle, an author known for making classical music accessible to young audiences, and beautifully illustrated. Her work is ethereal & dreamlike on every page. User Experience I was first introduced to this series when I purchased Four Seasons in One Day (featuring Vivaldi) from a charming bookstore in the heart of Melbourne as a gift for my young niece. It was an exceptional purchase, with stunning illustrations and perfectly chosen music, making it an immersive experience. When I discovered The Planets, I knew it would be another fantastic addition for Hannah's collection. While the bookstore experience was wonderful, Amazon offers a more competitive price point, especially with the convenience of home delivery. These books make a perfect gift for children with music-loving parents, offering an engaging way to explore classical compositions. Final Thoughts This series is a must-have for any child’s library, blending art, storytelling, and music seamlessly. I will definitely be purchasing more from this collection, as they are treasured books worth keeping. ⭐ Rating: 5/5 – A magical gift for young minds and music lovers alike.

HO preso tutta la collana...bellissime immagini. Ottimo come primo approccio alla musica classica.

I am obsessed with these books and eventually will own - and will have gifted - them all. They’re like something out of the bookstore in You’ve Got Mail. Special, unique, beautiful illustrations and stories; captivating music clips. Most parents dislike receiving noise making presents for their kids, they will NOT mind this book.

A mi peque le encanta este tipo de libros con música. Lo escucha muchísimo. Libro muy bien diseñado y con ilustraciones super preciosas, la música se escucha muy bien.
