One day, two brothers discover a door behind a bookshelf to a magical world where all animals talk, dance and sing. They are greeted by a majestic lion, ask directions from an ancient tortoise and parade in a procession of giant elephants.

The book is a series of adventures: with each turn of the page the brothers find themselves in a new world with new animals and new music.

Join us on this magical journey and really bring the carnival to life by pressing the musical notes. You will hear a fragment for each animal, taken from the piece of music by Camille Saint-Saëns. At the end of the book you will find a short biography of the composer with fun facts about the piece of music. You can play all the fragments again and you will read how the instruments and musical techniques used make this music so special.
