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.

The performance was excellent but I thought the reading of the poems sometimes missed the rhythm and flow if the poems.

One of the best versions of this piece I've heard in a long time from both musicians and narrators; both sounded like they were enjoying themselves! Using both extremely well-known and lesser well-known stars for each section was a great idea!

An All-Star Performance!

wouldnt pay much for it but light listening. Found the narrator's voices softer than the music and keep having to adjust volume. Obviously actors are older now and it was fun guessing which actor was speaking.

fun and easy listen to fill time
