In 1838, Robert Schumann composed a 13 piece piano work which he entitled Kinderszenen (Scenes from Childhood). He later added individual titles for each movement, after his wife Clara commented that he sometimes seemed like a child himself. These 13 pieces depict the daily life and experiences of a child, as well as his relationship with his parents and with his own world - as seen from a nostalgic adult's perspective. Philip de Vos was inspired by both Schumann's music and titles to write verses of his own.

This early-learning set will help introduce young children to animals. Little ones will enjoy matching the puzzle pieces with the animals on the pages, while also learning core vocabulary and developing fine motor skills. The 12 play pieces slot neatly into the spaces on the pages and can also be used as first word flash cards. The plastic pocket makes it easy to pack-up and put back on the bookshelf at the end of the day.
