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.

Book 6 in the "Harry Potter" series
A New York Times Bestseller
In the fifth and most recent book, "Harry Potter and the Order
of the Phoenix," the last chapter, titled "The Second War Begins,"
started:
"'In a brief statement Friday night, Minister of Magic Cornelius
Fudge confirmed that He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named has returned to this
country and is active once more. "It is with great regret that I
must confirm that the wizard styling himself Lord -- well, you know
who I mean -- is alive among us again," said Fudge.'"
"Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" takes up the story of
Harry Potter's sixth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and
Wizardry at this point in the midst of the storm of this battle of
good and evil.
The author has already said that the Half-Blood Prince is
neither Harry nor Voldemort. And most importantly, the opening
chapter of "Harry Potter and the Half-Blood Prince" has been
brewing in J. K. Rowling's mind for 13 years.

distasteful relatives and refrain from practicing magic?
Thirteen-year-old Harry Potter puts up with this situation until

his magic on her. Instead of being punished, Harry is allowed to
finish out his holiday at the Leaky Cauldron Inn, a thoroughly
enjoyable experience. But as Harry's third year at Hogwarts school
of Witchcraft and Wizardry begins, things turn serious when Sirius
Black, the man who killed Harry's parents and has it in for Harry,
too, escapes from Azkaban Prison. While trying to find out why
Sirius murdered his parents, the young hero learns more about his
own past and actually "hears" the end of his mothers life. In this
third book of the Harry Potter series, Harry Hangs out with his
friends Ron and Hermione, meets the "Hippogriffs" and "Dementors,"
and continues to make readers care very much about his fate.
