Delightful Book for Infants

I cannot praise this book highly enough. The illustrations are beautiful and the musical excerpts of just the right length for the attention span of very young children. Bravo, Royal Opera House!

DISAPPOINTED (The Story Orchestra: The Nutcracker)

Attractive book & idea, but did not work. I assume the batteries need replacing which I find very annoying as a tiny Phillips screwdriver is required which is extremely difficult to source. I bought this book along with"The Magic Flute" which was also defunct. Both books being non-functioning reflects badly on you. I am in Canada & my plan was to put these books with other gifts & send them to a child in California but now I am left trying to fix them or replacing them with something else before shipping them off in time for Christmas hence my DISAPPOINTMENT!

Dear Hilary, I am very sorry you received faulty books. There is usually a tag you need to remove on the back of the book to play them? If they still do not work please let us know so we can send replacements or process a refund. Sorry for the inconvenience caused. ROH Shop
