App Description

Naxos presents a thoroughly entertaining musical app for children based on Camille Saint-Saëns’s ever-popular ‘Carnival of the Animals’.

Enhanced with animation and brand new rhyming verses, the carnival has never been so alive! Tap the pictures – they’re full of surprises…

Is the Elephant happy with his trunk? Do Kangaroos like school? What about the poor old tortoise – does he ever get out and have fun?

With Naxos’s excellent recording of the music and delightful, animated illustrations of all Saint-Saëns’s ‘animals’, this app will charm those of all ages!

“Prowling and proud,
Right at the front,
Is a fine feline
With a nose for the hunt…”
