Read 5 times already this morning. Not the exact publication we have, but an excellent introduction to Saint-Saëns with great recordings. Naomi loves to dance and make the animal sounds along.

This being a digital file means I can't press anything to hear what it sounds like, but I can certainly acknowledge the pointillist art inside, with all the headgear-wearing animals, as a sign this is not your average fifty-words-in-total beginner's book. It leaves a lot to be desired in explaining the music and its context (ie that's completely absent) but this is for those young hands just getting used to controlling books, and if that means your ears get to bleed from it quite quickly, I cannot be held responsible. I did like what I saw, though.

Heerlijk boekje waarbij muziek en kijken veel doen met de beleving van de kleine.
