Key Features • A funny and offbeat version of a classic cooking competition! The jury tastes all the dishes made by the animals at the carnival, to the sound of the music played by the orchestra. • Louis Thomas’ inspired, and cheeky illustrations lie somewhere between Sempé and Quentin Blake. • Saint-Saëns entire “Carnival of the Animals” is played, and each musical movement is introduced by a dish prepared by the musicians.
Contents It’s carnival day in Lionville! All the animals gather in the village hall for the annual musical cooking contest! The jury is made up of a goat, a swan, a snail, and a duck. And presided over by the king of animals, the lion, of course! May the competition begin! The animals take it in turns to present their dish, each one more inventive than the last: violist stew, croquenotes, double-bassist kebab… But the lion is not impressed… The competition soon goes wrong. The musicians go on strike, and the jury discovers that one of the dishes has been poisoned… Who wants to kill the lion? Who is guilty? The conductor of course! He wanted to get rid of the lion to become the new animal king…
