A silly story that presents an assortment of animals and an orchestra.

Fourteen pieces -- scored for flute/piccolo, clarinet, glass harmonica (tuned glass bowls), xylophone, two pianos, and strings -- paint delightful musical portraits of a lion, chickens, turtles, an elephant, kangaroos, and the immensely popular swan.

The next title in this best-selling sound series reimagines Carnival of the Animals, one of the most famous suites of music for children, by Camille Saint-Saens.

A mischievous boy slips away from his teacher during a field trip to a natural history museum and, after the museum closes, sees all of the people he knows transformed into animals.

Inspired by Saint-Saëns' famous zoological fantasy, this magnificent project combines specially commissioned work by eleven acclaimed modern poets with riotous illustrations by Satoshi Kitamura. The accompanying CD features each of the poems representing an animal in the procession, read aloud to their corresponding passage of music. Let the carnival begin! All ages.

Press each embedded sound button to listen to specially arranged music from Camille Saint-Saens's famous Carnival of the Animals. The pages also have half die-cuts revealing the artwork on the layer below.
