- I have not seen any of these--I have an old LP of Bernstein with children
- soloists at a New York Phil Children's Concert which I loved and I also have
- our recording with Previn on CD from early 80's but this has no narration.

- I know of a two piano version [no orchestra] and the orchestration that
- Saint-Saens did which includes two pianos, clarinet, flute and strings.
- Both of these I would wager could be found at Patelson's in New York and
- if they are not in stock could probably be ordered.
