About the Author:
Sergei Prokofiev was a Russian and Soviet composer, pianist, and conductor. Creator of masterpieces across numerous musical genres, he is regarded as one of the major composers of the 20th century. His works include the March from The Love for Three Oranges, the suite Lieutenant Kije, the ballet Romeo and Juliet - from which "Dance of the Knights" is taken - and Peter and the Wolf. He created seven completed operas, seven symphonies, eight ballets, five piano concertos, two violin concertos, a cello concerto, a Symphony-Concerto for cello and orchestra, and nine completed piano sonatas.

Charles Mikolaycak was best known for his Children's book illustrations. His book I Am Joseph was an ALA Notable Book, Peter and the Wolf received a Society of Illustrators notation, and Babushka was a New York Times Best Illustrated Book.
Synopsis:
Suitable for readers of all ages, PETER AND THE WOLF is the latest of the great classics to be adapted into a graphic novel by one of today's comic art geniuses. Often heard on records with Prokofiev's remarkable score, it tells the story of a young boy who ignores his grandfather's advice to "Never go into the forest for any reason, because you'll never come back out". Sensing an opportunity for personal glory, Peter wanders into the wood with only the company of a songbird, a duck, and a cat, determined to meet this frightening creature and to capture him. When Peter does exactly as he sets out to, his grandfather's word come back to haunt him in ways he never imagined. Powerfully evocative of the dark wildness of the forest, Prado's artwork is the perfect counterpoint to this much-loved and memorable fairy tale.
