Annotation

Michael Leunig has written new poems to go with Saint-Saëns Carnival of the Animals. Chickens, cuckoos and elephants become lizards, wombats and dugongs. Peter Garrett narrates Leunig's poems and the ACO plays Saint-Saëns' original music. Accompanying the CD is a book with the poems printed and illustrations by Leunig.
