Designed to introduce children to classical music through engaging storytelling and interactive activities, this set includes a CD featuring the music and verse readings, making it a perfect educational and entertaining tool for families and educators. ## Description A great way to introduce children to classical music. America’s first Children's Poet Laureate has written all-new verses to accompany the composer Camille Saint-Saëns’s The Carnival of the Animals, and the illustrator of the Harry Potter books has turned these rollicking rhymes into a picture-book fun fest. Included is a CD of the music and of Jack Prelutsky reading the verses. A note to parents and teachers by Judith Bachleitner, head of the music department at the prestigious Rudolf Steiner School in New York City, suggests ways preschoolers can act out the music—tromp like an elephant, hop like a kangaroo, glide like a swan—or, for older children, be creatively inspired by this joyful work. Review: Cute book - Great book for music lovers and children alike. There are many fun and classic songs included and the illustrations on each page enhance the fun for children. It is poetry so my kids needed help understanding but they enjoyed it. Review: BRAVO! - The Prelutzky verses are way more fun than some of the others I've heard for this piece. My 4 and 6yo grand's loved all the colorful illustrations, and loved acting out the animals, one by one. I was especially pleased at how much they remembered of the individual pieces between the first and second playing. We used this book/recording as a way to prepare for a love concert for children, put on by our local Symphony.
