Петя и волк (Petya i volk) (Peter and the Wolf)

This afternoon, while blowing through the kindergarten summer bridge workbook, we listened to the album Earthbeat, which is a collaboration between the Paul Winter Consort and the Dimitri Pokrovsky Ensemble. This is one of my top ten, take to a deserted island, favorite albums. It combines traditional Russian folk songs with Paul Winter's genius and it is a delight to listen to. Oliver enjoyed it and bopped around at the kitchen table while not being challenged at all by what he should know before he enters kindergarten.

Before bedtime we watched Disney's Peter and the Wolf. He thought it was hilarious and made me play back several parts of the movie. 

It was Russian music by osmosis, today.
