Carnival of the Animals

Resumen del libro

A stunning gift collection of animal poems from master storyteller Michael Morpurgo, celebrating with heart and humour the creatures with whom we share our planet. Collaborating once more with iconic artist, Michael Foreman, Morpurgo's poems are inspired by The Carnival of the Animals a humorous musical by the French composer Camille Saint-Saëns. Building on this classic framework, Michael has added many more animals they speak in their own voices, full of humour and brio, to tell of their lives and the impact of humanity on their habitats.
