Book-CD Le Carnaval (gastronomique) des animaux

It's the day of Lionville's annual musical cooking competition! The jury, presided over by the lion, tastes, one after the other, all the dishes prepared by the animals. But soon the competition goes off course: the musicians go on strike, and the jury discovers that one of the dishes has been poisoned... Who's after the lion? Who's the culprit? The conductor, of course! He wanted to get rid of the lion so he could take power and become the new king of the animals...
