I found this wonderful series of Singable Picture Books on an Australian website,

Research led me to learn that the series was created in Korea, including books summaries and product description:

From a music education perspective, Koomzaal’s ”Carnival of the Animals” looks like an amazing teaching resource! The Koomzaal website has testimonials, PowerPoint Presentations, and teaching aids to help in the use of this product. It looks fantastic. More information, here:
