"The conductor walks onto the stage, and the animal orchestra awaits his cue. ALLEGRO! Quickly, swiftly--race, run, fly! ADAGIO! Slowly, smoothly--a steady pace. STACCATO! Popping, hopping, bouncing, bounding. The animals move and dance and bend to the music--racing and gliding and twirling--until the final soft chords ... PIANISSIMO! Quietly, softly--sleep, dream ... This energetic and spirited interpretation of the universal musical terms shows the power that music can have on our bodies and our emotions, and gives kids the chance to get up and move!"-- Provided by publisher
