The Story Orchestra Book: Hansel and Gretel invites young readers on a magical musical journey, featuring ten sound buttons that play ten‑second clips from Humperdinck’s enchanting opera.

Living on the edge of the woods, little Hansel and Gretel are sent out to pick strawberries — but what they discover deep in the forest is far more mysterious and surprising. As children follow their adventure page by page, they can press the buttons to hear real orchestral music that brings each moment to life. At the end of the book, readers can learn more about composer Engelbert Humperdinck, explore how each musical piece works, and dive into a fun glossary of musical words and ideas.
