This series of storybooks for Key Stage 2 children introduces pupils to important musical works through interesting adventure stories. Teachers can either read the story whilst playing the CD to help evoke the soundscapes of the music. Alternatively, once pupils are familiar with the story they can simply listen and look at the pictures. This is ideal for use as part of an integrated scheme of work for art music and literacy and is an approachable resource for non-music-specialists. Join Jack and Chloe as they are thrown into an adventure they hadn't bargained for on discovery of a spinning wheel in the attic. This title is based on Omphale's "Spinning Wheel" by Camille Saint Saens.
