In the Hall of the Mountain King

This beautifully illustrated story brings to life Norwegian composer Edvard Grieg's musical masterpiece and Henrik Ibsen's timeless characters. Geared toward children 5-9, the story will delight readers as the action mirrors the movement of the music it's based on. Includes a CD with orchestral performances of "In the Hall of the Mountain King" and four other pieces from the "Peer Gynt Suite." Lesson plans and a puppet-making sheet are available from the author's website. "This is a pitch-perfect book that will capture the attention of an entire classroom. . . . Despite the fact that this is a perfect book for any family, teacher, or caregiver with an appreciation for music, Flannery's retelling stands alone as a wonderful story for all picture book fans."-- The Children's Book Review
