Product Overview
A great way to introduce children to classical music.

Included is a CD of the music and of Jack Prelutsky reading the verses. A note to parents and teachers by Judith Bachleitner, head of the music department at the prestigious Rudolf Steiner School in New York City, suggests ways preschoolers can act out the musictromp like an elephant, hop like a kangaroo, glide like a swanor, for older children, be creatively inspired by this joyful work.
