This is what michael read/recited to me tonight..it's the 1st page of the book before the story starts and has a round circle for each character with their picture in it and them playing the instrument.
Michael: " Peter and the Wolf is a musical fairy tale in which each character is played by a different instrument of the orchestra: Peter by the violins and all the string of the orchestra, the bird by the flute, the duck by the oboe, the cat by the....mom what is it again"
me: ...a clarinet
Michael: "....the cat by the clarinet, the grandfather by the...mom what is that again"
me: ...a bassoon..
Michael: "the grandfather by the bassoon, the wolf by the french horns, the hunters and their gunshots by the kttldrums.....how do you say it
me: "...kettledrums...
Michael: "the hunters and their gunshots by the kettledrums and the big bass drum."
along with several other quotes throughout the book, but this monologue really floored me!
Thought I'd share!
