My First Story Orchestra: Swan Lake

Simple, easy introduction to Swan Lake with lovely illustrations. The proof copy I read has musical samples, but I was not able to activate them so no comment on the music. But the book provides an easy introduction to Swan Lake.

I love this entry in the My First Orchestra series that introduces young readers to the ballet, The Nutcracker, through splendid art and magical musical excerpts. A great way to expose toddlers and babies to classical music and ballet productions.

My daughter and I so enjoyed this book at bedtime. She has recently been doing the Nutcracker performances for dance so this was such a fun book! Beautifully done!

This was a super cute board book version of Swan Lake! I think the illustrations were great & it gave just enough of the story to introduce the youngest kiddos to the classic story. Overall, just a delightful retelling!

Thanks to NetGalley, Jessica Courtney-Tickle, and Quarto Publishing for the chance to read and review.

This is a quick representation of the famous Swan Lake ballet. It is ideal for toddlers. The art style is lovely - amazing colours and characters.
My child is a bit old to comment on this now, but they liked what I liked about it. When my child was little, we read similar books with audio and my child enjoyed pressing the buttons. It is good that this interactive story exists. A nice way to engage the little ones and introduce them to art.

This book was adorable! I will be purchasing it for a friend that's about to have a baby girl. The illustrations were beautiful.

This short board book is an ideal way to explain the story of Swan Lake to very young children. The beautiful illustrations and straightforward narration bring this classic story to life and I look forward to experiencing a physical copy of this book to hear the included music clips.

This is a fun and simple way to introduce children to both classical music and theater. The vivid illustrations will keep children returning to this book over and over. I wish I could have heard the accompanying music, as I am positive it will add significantly to the overall charm of this book.

The illustrations in this book were fantastic! I loved the simplification of the Swan Lake Story that would definitely engage children and get them into ballet! This was a fun book! I’d get it for kids in my life!

Such a lovely introduction to a classic story. This is a great way to introduce young kids to the story of Swan Lake and I love the idea of having music samples with the book and the illustrations are beautiful
