Read and sing along with the classic 1950s song "The Big Bell and the Little Bell"--with music and lyrics by Martin Kalmanoff--became a family favorite when it was first released in 1954. It tells the tale of a King who has to decide which bell--large or small, loud or soft--he wants to ring out on his wedding day. Now, this beautiful gift package brings the musical fantasy to a whole new generation. Containing a stunningly illustrated book and an exclusive CD with both the original Julius La Rosa recording and a new version by the internationally famed London Crouch End Festival Chorus, it offers kids (and adults, too) a complete visual and auditory experience. Alastair Graham's fun, colorful, and delightfully detailed pictures capture a lavish court full of cats, dressed in bright medieval-style garb. Small children will particularly appreciate the story's moral: that big isn't always better, and sometimes the little one wins the day
