Preschool and primary education teachers have discovered that this beautiful Carnival of the Animals kids book & CD is a wonderful way to introduce children to classical music. Camille Saint-Saens composed this piece nearly 150 years ago as an exercise for his students, and it has since become one of his most famous works. The accompanying commentary and whimsical illustrations help children follow each section of the animals’ carnival, while they listen to the CD. We think you’ll enjoy reading and listening alongside your grandchild — a gift for all.
