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

Lots of fun, this book will allow teachers to capture children's interest in orchestral music for a lifetime. The CD contains 25 tracks including selections from Bizet's Carmen, Saint-Saëns' Carnival of the Animals, Dvorák's New World Symphony, Haydn's Surprise Symphony, and many more.

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.
