The Phantastic Zoo

Join Mary and Tim on a field trip to the zoo, where they see elephants, exotic birds and lions! They meet the Wizard, Zitthoona, who performs music on his magic flute and ushers them into The Phantastic Zoo! Experience the stories the children hear from fabulous beasts; The Phoenix, The Mermaid and The Dragon, from whom they learn life lessons, and the secrets of living life with imagination.

“A warmhearted, encouraging book about the wonders of imagination.” Kirkus reviews.

Enjoy Doctor Kaufman’s story and colorful illustrative art.  Hear his brilliant music and the work of professional voice actors on the ‘go with’ audio album. The combination of story, art, symphonic music and voice is immersive, moving and unique.

Note on Book Forms from Author:

Softcover/Hardcover: these are the graphically illustrated books - they are printed on-demand by Book Vault (the best for colors and quality) and sent out from their branch in Ashland, Ohio (Baker and Taylor). 

Soundtrack Audio Albums: most of my works are conceived as multimedia - the music is an intrinsic element - I am a trained composer - as is the sound design and narration/voice acting: I have also produced them as live shows in numerous settings, from small/medium audience of all ages - to full symphonic orchestra.

Kindle books are as you know them.

Fixed Layout ePub: pop right into your apple books or other readers that use epub.  These are fixed layout because the books are graphically illustrated, often each page constructed as an individual work of art to various levels considering the work in question.

Ultimate immersive experience is attained by reading and listening together, but one may listen as a super rich audio book, or read the books as stand alone. Some folks read ahead and then go back to the sound album.

A few productions have been filmed and can be viewed - for free - on my youtube channel - SOUNDARTUS. 

Live with Imagination!
