By: Katy Flint | Illustrator: Jessica Courtney Tickle | Series: The Story OrchestraDiscover the magical world of Carnival of the Animals in this musical reimagining of this celebrated suite for children – push the button in each breathtaking scene to hear the vivid sound of an orchestra playing from Camille Saint-Saëns’ score.
One day, two brothers discover a magical animal kingdom behind their bookcase. They are greeted by the royal lion with his shaggy mane; ask for directions from an old lonely tortoise; take a ride on some lumbering elephants; topple a skeleton of dinosaur bones; and swim among a school of shimmering fish. If only they could take them all home...
The book includes extracts from “The Swan,” “Aquarium,” “Fossils,” and “Finale” (From Disney’s Fantasia) along with a totally new story to link the pieces together.
As you and your little one journey through the magical scenes, you will press the buttons to hear 10 excerpts from the suite’s music. At the back of the book, find a short biography of the composer, Camille Saint-Saëns, with details about his composition of Carnival of the Animals. Next to this, you can replay the musical excerpts and, for each of them, read a discussion of the instruments, rhythms and musical techniques that make them so powerful. A glossary defines musical terms.
The Story Orchestra series brings classical music to life for children through gorgeously illustrated retellings of classic ballet, opera, and program music stories paired with 10-second sound clips of orchestras playing from their musical scores. With The Story Orchestra keyboard sound books, children can play the famous melodies themselves with the sound of a real grand piano.
Also available from the Story Orchestra series: The Magic Flute, I Can Play (vol 1), Swan Lake, The Sleeping Beauty, The Nutcracker, and Four Seasons in One Day.
Manufacturer's note: please pull the white tab out of the back of the book before use. Sound buttons require a firm push in exact location to work, which may be hard for young children. All sound clips are 10 seconds long.
The perfect primer to introduce children to classical music.

Perfect for learning about bugs!
Format: Board book
Purchased this because my kids class is learning about bugs. It is so cute, and both my kids my 3 year old and almost 2 year old love it! The pictures are so cute, and they really do go through each bug, making it educational. Such a fun book at a great price for 1-3 year olds.

Humor and Heart
Format: Kindle
Soccer superstar Sage needs a serious girlfriend to boost her image. Willa needs a plus one for her ex’s bachelorette party. When the two former high school classmates reconnect, they devise a plan to enter a fake relationship, but how long can it stay pretend?
Never Mine has a fun and heartwarming fake romance plot, likable characters, and many laugh out loud scenes. Willa and Sage’s relationship is destined to be something special from the moment they reconnect at their high school reunion, but watching them finally figure that out for themselves is entertaining and delightful.
Fans of great sapphic fauxmance with plenty of humor and heart will love Never Mine.

Gay but not out
Format: Kindle
At a time when five women of the US national soccer team are out, Sage Bryson is struggling. A star player, but out of the squad with injury, she stumbles into a secret attraction to a dorky zoo events co-ordinator. Willa. The feeling is mutual but lacks Sage's long term commitment.
A series of some unusual, but amusing, situations draws them together. But commitment fears on both sides keeps them apart. Clever writing with some amusing one-liners, the story bumps along the 'will she, won't she' road, with occasional cliff hangers. A good read.

Great chemistry and inspirational!
Format: Kindle
Injured World Cup and Olympic soccer star Sage Carson meets up with sweet Willa Bellamy, an events coordinator for the Denver Zoo, at their fifteen high school reunion. Both seemingly out of their elements they ditch it to go out for pizza at the favorite high school joint and develop a mutually satisfying plan as fake girlfriends. Sage needs to be seen with Willa to help improve her messy rebellious persona while Willa needs a date to her ex's wedding and bachelorette weekend.
Not only was this story beautifully crafted with Bryce's wonderful dialogue, sense of humor and flirty interactions, but the development of the characters, including secondary, grew throughout the book.
I loved the impact Willa had on Sage just by being her authentic self and I loved the belief Willa had in Sage to think beyond her career as a soccer star. They were good for each other, truly seeing each other's finest capabilities. I enjoyed the settings of the beach, soccer world and zoo, but it was their beautiful journey together that made this book so good. I highly recommend it!

What a delightful fake romance story.
Format: Kindle
Will a is nice to the point of everyone taking advantage of her. Sage is so wrapped up in herself she can't see how lost she has become. These two make a much needed contract to fake a relationship for personal connection. The characters are are funny, have an instant attraction and spend months trying to avoid feelings. Bryce Oakley gives a great no fake angst story about mutual attraction that brings friendship and an inner strength to the MC. It is so fun to read with moments that will touch your heart. I am never disappointed with this authors writing.
