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.

Die wind skep die nota en dit kom op Meneer Snippel se fiets te lande. Meneer Vogel is vreeslik bly hieroor. Hy vra: “Kan dit waar wees?
