It's our second Story Orchestra book, and I prefer this to Four Seasons, as the story faithfully narrates the ballet. Illustrations are beautiful, creative, and detailed. A particularly nice touch is the inclusive range of skin tones in the characters, and the king and queen are a mixed-race couple, so the princess is not the stereotypical Caucasian. Our favorite part is the last page with the slightly more technical explanations, where readers are taught to listen to the different sounds in the music (beats as horse hooves, flute as birds, notes as church bells, etc.). My kids (aged 7 and 5) are proud of themselves when they recognize the connections. To address other comments, we also have the same issue with pushing the buttons through the first few pages. Little fingers simply are not strong enough, and even I have trouble occasionally. We easily solve it by finding the corresponding button on the last page. The volume is certainly not too loud on our books - if anything, I'd like it slightly louder - so it seems that varies. I'm back to buy both this book and Four Seasons as gifts. Review: Read: This book is fabulous. Here's why... - Tasteful, thoughtful, intentional, this book is fabulous and here's why: 1. Tasteful; the Prince in the book gives the Princess a "kiss on the forehead" to wake her. I gave this as a Christmas gift and all the children, really all ages delighted in the story from small to adult. Wonderful. 2. Thoughtful; a few years ago we attended a Symphony Orchestra performance Storytime at our city Library. The narrator read through the story and the Orchestra would play each feeling according to what was read (loud timpani drums or soft violins and so on, of the emotion with their instruments). This book is just like that experience, yet in the comfort of home--you read the page and press the button and the songs carry the story with the emotion on the page. I cannot tell you how much everyone enjoys this part of the book, it adds so much to the experience of storytime. 3. Intentional; The story illustrations are characters of many different skin colors and this is just so lovely and well done in the beautiful artwork. The images are classic and the foil gold touches add whimsy. Reading a story is more than words, it's the way the story is told and all these details are thoughtfully, tastefully done. The kids, boys and girls were both excited to read it. Another note on intentionality, the last page of the book shares a bit about Tchaikovsky, what he wrote and why he composed some of his most famous work. This includes a small Glossary for the story. Truly this book is a treasure, look no further for a very thoughtful, enjoyable-for-all gift. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #10,135 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #30 in Children's Performing Arts Fiction #112 in Children's Folk Tales & Myths (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.8 4.8 out of 5 stars (1,304) | | Dimensions | 10.8 x 0.75 x 12.2 inches | | Edition | Illustrated | | Grade level | Kindergarten - 3 | | ISBN-10 | 1786030934 | | ISBN-13 | 978-1786030931 | | Item Weight | 10.4 ounces | | Language | English | | Part of series | The Story Orchestra | | Print length | 24 pages | | Publication date | October 23, 2018 | | Publisher | Frances Lincoln Children's Books | | Reading age | 2 - 5 years, from customers | ## Images ![The Story Orchestra: The Sleeping Beauty: Press the note to hear Tchaikovsky's music (Volume 3) - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91nqCCC+0fL.jpg) ![The Story Orchestra: The Sleeping Beauty: Press the note to hear Tchaikovsky's music (Volume 3) - Image 2](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/717yspAe24L.jpg) ![The Story Orchestra: The Sleeping Beauty: Press the note to hear Tchaikovsky's music (Volume 3) - Image 3](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71utR3qU-HL.jpg) ![The Story Orchestra: The Sleeping Beauty: Press the note to hear Tchaikovsky's music (Volume 3) - Image 4](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/71P7xm2akjL.jpg) ![The Story Orchestra: The Sleeping Beauty: Press the note to hear Tchaikovsky's music (Volume 3) - Image 5](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/91JJKiDDx4L.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A Lovely Gift for a Wide Range of Ages *by A***T on January 4, 2019* This is a superb book for a range of ages (I enjoyed learning about the music, and any child past page-ripping age would enjoy the music, even before they can read).

A 10 year old saw a copy in a bookstore and asked for it as a gift and loves it. Whenever cousins come over they enjoy having it read to them. The illustrations are pleasing and attractive and accompany the ballet music and story well. This book is a definite hit and a treasure. ## Frequently Bought Together - The Story Orchestra: The Sleeping Beauty: Press the note to hear Tchaikovsky's music (Volume 3) (The Story Orchestra, 3) - The Story Orchestra: Swan Lake: Press the note to hear Tchaikovsky's music (Volume 4) (The Story Orchestra, 4) - The Story Orchestra: The Nutcracker: Press the note to hear Tchaikovsky's music (Volume 2) (The Story Orchestra, 2) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.vu/products/77515377-the-story-orchestra-the-sleeping-beauty-press-the-note-to](https://www.desertcart.vu/products/77515377-the-story-orchestra-the-sleeping-beauty-press-the-note-to) --- *Product available on Desertcart Vanuatu* *Store origin: VU* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
