On the edge of the woods live little Hansel and Gretel with their parents. One day, they are sent into the woods to pick strawberries, but what they discover is far more exciting than berries. Deep among the trees, they stumble upon a house made entirely of sweets. It looks delicious... but someone is watching from inside! Can the siblings outwit the clever old woman who lives there and find their way home? Discover what happens next in this magical retelling of the famous Grimms' fairy tale.

This interactive musical adventure features ten sound buttons that bring the story to life with real orchestral music. At the end of the book, discover more about the composer, learn how each piece of music works, and dive into a fun glossary filled with musical words and ideas.

The Story Orchestra series brings classical music to life for children through gorgeously illustrated retellings of classic ballet, opera and program music stories paired with 10-second sound clips of orchestras playing from their musical scores. With The Story Orchestra keyboard sound books, children can play the famous melodies themselves with the sound of a real grand piano.
