About this listen

This star-studded rendition of Ogden Nash's humorous verses—backed by a full-orchestra performance of Saint-Saëns' Carnival of the Animals—will surely delight adults and children of all ages. A great way to introduce children to classical music, youngsters will enjoy the animal depictions in the sounds of Saint-Saëns' composition.

Performed by a menagerie of beloved actors and actresses—including Ted Danson, Audrey Hepburn, James Earl Jones, Lily Tomlin, and Betty White—this recording also features music performed by Mona Golabek and Renee Golabek under conductor Lalo Schifrin.

A short delight
