"Are you sitting comfortably possums?" Dame Edna narrates Peter and the Wolf. This 20th anniversary edition includes a fun sticker sheet.

"A highly entertaining and very dramatic narrative, with the orchestral accompaniment splendidly paced to match the gripping onward flow of the story. There are twee moments, but children will readily respond to Dame Edna's very positive involvement with her characters, and so will most parents." - The Penguin Guide
