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-Saens'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.
