English: (Story) Leonard Bernstein's Peter and the Wolf

I've been trying to move away from my default of letting Scout Kid watch a movie (Robin Hood, usually) while I'm busy with something, so this morning I played him a record we have of Leonard Bernstein narrating/directing Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf. He was enthralled. For most of the story he sat still(ish) listening, but near the end he grabbed his toy wolf and jump rope and began acting along with the story. As soon as it was done, he requested to listen to it again, and he's been playing Peter ever since so, I think, success!

Here are the recordings if you want to listen: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3.
