The Story Orchestra: Carnival of the Animals: Press the note to hear Saint-Saëns' 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

This book is fantastic. It keeps both of my children (ages 2 and 3.5 years) entertained. They love being able to push the buttons down on the pages and hear the music. I can’t complain because it has literally gotten my kids into classical music! There is one downside, however, but in my opinion it is not major enough to drop a star: the buttons can be difficult to press sometimes and require a great amount of pressure, which is something my children do struggle with when reading this book.

Lovely books that the kids love reading and listening to

A lovely book with beautiful illustrations but the buttons are very hard to press for my youngest (3 yrs old) you need to press down quite hard as you have to press through all the layers of paper and even when you get to the end and it's just the buttons they are still difficult, which puts my child off it. A real shame. The makers of this book should look at how other button children's books are done and lear from them.

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.

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