Swan Lake: A Kid's Guide to the Ballet Including All the Music

By: Courtney Duke Graves

Narrated by: Emmanuel Fontain-Ogwang

If you have a budding ballerina or are simply going to see Swan Lake with your child, this book builds an understanding of the story line and includes the full musical score. This is a great way to introduce your child to the ballet masterwork so they have a better appreciation for the ballet when experiencing it in person.

The story is told in synchronization with the music so that the young listener understands the story and how the music reflects the story line. This is an immersive way for children to discover this iconic piece of ballet.

Perfect Prior to Seeing the Ballet

Walked into Onegin at ABT last week without understanding the story and I simply could not follow it. This should help with tomorrow’s Swan Lake performance. Highly recommend.

For the ballerina!

My daughter is crazy about this audio book! She listened to it constantly! Love it!

Fantastic.

The narration is very calm and well read, the pace is great and it doesn’t not go too fast. The mixture of music with narration is well balanced, Swan lake was already a fave in our house before we brought this audiobook, but this seems to bring more depth to the story. I particularly like that the ending is a positive one, perfect for young children. If I could find more books for children by this narrator I would!

Swan Lake

I have tickets to see Swan Lake in Philly. I'm not sure but am thinking it's dancing only. To assure I understand the meaning behind it, I listened to this book. It was such a nice story. I'm so excited to see this well-known ballad.
