My First Story Orchestra: Carnival of the Animals Book

Lions roaring, dinosaurs stomping and Saint-Saëns' most joyful music playing right from the page.

This bright, brilliant board book brings the magic of Carnival of the Animals to the very youngest listeners - with six sound buttons that play real excerpts from a live orchestra, sturdy pages perfect for little hands, and a simple, playful retelling of one of classical music's most irresistible suites.

Press the button on every page and hear the animals come to life - from the thundering roar of the lion to the heavy, lumbering steps of the elephants - as the story unfolds in the most joyful way imaginable.

The vivid green cover with its parade of elephants and dancing birds is guaranteed to catch a baby's eye immediately - and the music will keep them captivated long after the last page.

The most fun introduction to classical music a little one could possibly have. At under £10 it makes one of the most thoughtful and genuinely special new baby or first birthday gifts you can give - and the perfect beginning to a series children will love for years to come. 

Part of the much-loved My First Story Orchestra series from Frances Lincoln Children's Books. 

The perfect gift for: new babies, first birthdays, baby showers and any little one who loves animals and music.
