The Carnival of the Animals

Can you spot who has dressed up as which animal?

The bullfinch discovers a poster one morning with an announcement about the Carnival of the Animals – and the best costume will win a prize!

The news spreads like wildfire throughout the animal kingdom. With fervour, animal costumes are made and decorated with fur and feathers. The effect is amazing! Each animal gives tips in funny rhymes about its true identity and that of the fellow animal it has disguised itself as.

Can you guess who has dressed up as which animal? And who deserves the trophy for the best costume? You decide!
