Book-CD Le Carnaval (gastronomic) des animaux

It's the day of the big annual Lionville musical cooking contest! The jury, presided over by the lion, tastes one after the other, all the dishes prepared by the animals. But soon the contest goes wrong: the musicians go on strike, and the jury discovers that one of the dishes is poisoned... Who is after the lion? Who is the culprit? It's the conductor of course!

Est Républicain "The musical tale tinged with irony and poetry is a real pleasure for the eyes and ears. Jacques Gamblin tells the story with ardor and enjoys interpreting the characters created by Bernard Friot. The impertinent illustrations by Louis Thomas are superb and the musical interpretation by the OVH is first rate.
