Description

Introduce babies and toddlers to the magic of classical music with this reimagining of one of legendary composer Tchaikovsky's most famous ballets. Swan Lake is a story about a young prince in love with a beautiful young girl who turns into a swan at sunrise. Every day, the swans take flight across the lake. Then, at night, they dance under the moonlight.

This encourages interactive learning via an immersive experience. The soothing natural scenes are illustrated impeccably, with glistening, wintery landscape spreads across each page. Follow the gently gliding Swan Queen as she transforms and captures the heart of the Prince.
