The Wee Maestros Picture Books introduces musical classics to young audiences through vibrant pictures and whimsical verse.
Carnival of the Animals was inspired by the French composer Camille Saint-Saëns’ chamber piece, “Carnaval des animaux”. Inside the covers, readers will find all the characters heard in the music including the Royal Lion, the Elephant, the Aquarium, the Aviary, the Swan and more. The book can be enjoyed on its own or in conjunction with Saint-Saëns’ music for an even more imaginative experience.
