Some of the tracks are very difficult to listen to, even with volume turned up to 3 times the normal level. I'm not sure if it is counted as a default so I did not send it back to Amazon.

The children enjoy acting out the animals to the music so I am glad that I did get it for the planned body movement in the classroom.

• Excellent teaching resource
  I am using this book for teaching grade one music. It is wonderful! the children love the pictures and the music. They have enjoyed responding to the music through movement and art work. A very good purchase!
