A fun way to present classical music to children. Nearly 150 years ago, the composer Camille Saint-Saens was asked by his pupils to write a musical joke for them. He wrote the "The Carnival of the Animals", a piece people enjoyed so much that is has now become one of Saint-Saens's most famous works. This accessible commentary, in a picture-book format, helps children follow each section of the piece while they listen to the CD. Full-color illustrations, a simple text, and evocative melodies create an ideal introduction for young children to the world of classical music.

"The often violent extremes of opinion which he aroused in others created a legacy of prejudices and assumptions which has for three-quarters of a century remained largely unchallenged and has militated against a more sober assessment of his music and its place in musical history."--BOOK JACKET. "Stephen Studd's biography offers just such an assessment. Together with an extensive bibliography, appendices with selections from the composer's essays and poetry, and an up-to-date discography of the ever-growing number of recordings, this biography is much needed and timely."--BOOK JACKET.
