Schildkret's original verses for the beloved Saint-Saens work.  The animals all come for a celebration and behave characteristically:  the birds are tweeting, the cuckoo appears hourly, and so on!

If you would like to perform The Carnival of the Animals with these verses, Schildkret prefers to narrate them himself (he has also given performances in which he both conducted and narrated).  Visit the Contact page to get in touch with Dr. Schildkret.
