The Story Orchestra: Four Seasons in One Day: Press the note to hear Vivaldi's music (Volume 1) (The Story Orchestra, 1)

My 3 year old absolutely love this book and so do I. The story is OK but the art work is awesome. A little bit to hard to press buttons for little hands, so with help it works well. Highly recommend for kids from 2 till 4 year old.

We really enjoy the Story Orchestra series. We first introduced the Nutcracker to my then 2 years old and he absolutely loved it and enjoyed the music so much that he will request us to play the Nutcracker on Spotify while driving in the car. Now he is in love with Vivaldi's music because of this new book. The story is simple and easy to follow by a toddler and they are such a great way to introduce classical music to your little ones!

He asks for it every time he comes to my house, 3yo grandson does. He insists on pushing the buttons (musical notes) himself with no help. He can move his body to the four measures of music on each page, sometimes dancing, sometimes shaking with the prestissimo violin parts. He enjoys the story as well, and we search for our own scavenger hunt objects on each page. It did not take him long to learn which colored buttons offered stormy music and which ones were gentle. He likes stormy. Thank you, Mr Vivaldi, and authors of this wondrous book.

Our toddler Grandson has often asked to hear the Four Seasons- he liked it from an early age and he loves this book. I would recommend it for any age, especially older children, though our young grandson loves it. This book was very engaging for all of us to identify the season with the song excerpt. The pictures are beautifully done, the story is ok- not as engaging as the music and pictures, but not a detraction. The entire family was excited about this book!

I have bought several of these books for my granddaughter and her parents tell me she loves them. She is only 18 months old but loves pressing the buttons and hearing the music. Because they get heavy use, my son says the batteries wear out quickly (4 or 5 coin type batteries) but he just ordered them in bulk so she can play the music all she wants.

We have four of these books. The best one is the Nutcracker and we also love In the Hall of the Mountain King. This one has great music (obviously) and illustrations but the story just isn’t great. Partially because it wasn’t already there for them and they tried to come up with something to fit the music. My son still likes it and asks for it, so I guess that’s enough.

Wonderful way to introduce children to classical music!

The story and music are both wonderful, and the music is very clear, not mechanical sounding, like in some other books we have. Even the hardcover and illustrations are very beautiful. We have a few books of this series and the they are often requested as the bedtime story
