In this retelling of the classic ballet story, bring Tchaikovsky's Sleeping Beauty to life by pressing the musical notes on each page.

Read the story and then turn to the back of the book to read about the music clips.

The third title in the Story Orchestra series, following on from The Four Seasons, and The Nutcracker, is for readers 5 and up.
