The Story Orchestra: Carnival of the Animals: Press the note to hear Saint-Saens' music: 5

I love the entire range, books are beautiful and well written. The images are designed nicely but the addition of music on each page (along with more information about the pieces on the last page), help start your little one’s musical appreciation. The perfect gift!

Attractive to look at, music works well, grandchildren love it.

Really lovely Christmas gift for my 3 year old. Makes a lovely change to the usual kids books to have classical music playing at points in the story

Lovely books that the kids love reading and listening to

Bought as a gift for christmas and arrived in perfect condition. We already have the nutcracker and swan lake versions of this book and we love them. The pictures are beautiful and the quality is perfect. Kids love to press the buttons on each page to hear a different piece of music.

This is the first time I have ever felt compelled to leave a review. These books are just so enchanting! From the beautiful stories to the stunning illustrations and magical music, they are just so special and will be loved for generations. We now have all 7 and they are read every night. The Carnival of the Animals is one of our favourites. It’s just so magical and beautiful! The only slight negative is that the buttons for the music require quite a bit of pressure so our 2.5 year old can’t operate them herself. Otherwise, the books are perfect and we have bought them as gifts for friends. Highly recommend!

I bought this and some of the others in the series as gifts for nieces and nephews. Brilliant price on offer for £6. They all love books so I can’t wait to give them these beautifully crafted books. Each has a story and information about the music pieces at the back of the book.A brilliant, engaging way to expose children to classical music. The music is married up nicely to each page in the story.I would say this is for children 5+ as there is quite a lot of text and might not hold attention of younger children. My only criticism is the buttons could be a little tricky for younger children to press and it would be better if the music played for a bit longer

A completely new story written to join these pieces together. It has been loved by two boys for several years now.
