`Ben's Birthday Present` `Illustrated by Mary Iverson` `Published by Tempered Entertainment, 2003`		`Available at Tempered Entertainment`


In the tradition of Prokofiev's Peter and the Wolf, this project combines music and story to create a dynamic reading and listening experience. The fully illustrated storybook has an accompanying CD of narration and classical piano music. Designed to get young listeners engaged and excited about classical music, every piano piece is performed by a different young pianist, ranging in age from 9 to 17. Produced by kids, and for kids, Ben's Birthday Present will inspire children's imaginations and interest in classical music. `Every year on his birthday, Ben's grandmother gives him a magical and mysterious gift. But when Ben pulls back the wrapping paper on this year's present, all he finds is an antique music box that doesn't even work. Brokenhearted, Ben shelves the music box and forgets all about it . . . until one stormy day when the box comes alive and changes Ben's life forever.`
