grammar usage:ｘもｙもｚもあります vs ｘとｙとｚはあります


I read the first sentence in a graded reader, and I'm wondering why the author
chose the first grammar pattern over the second.

絵本{えほん｝ **も** ピアノ **も** テレビ **も** あります。

絵本 **と** ピアノ **と** テレビ **が** あります。

What is the difference in meaning between these two phrases, or, if the
meaning is relatively similar, why would you choose to use one over the other?




See in depth explanation: [Use of も in this
sentence.](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/questions/14132/use-
of-%E3%82%82-in-this-sentence)

In brief

  * 絵本 **も** ピアノ **も** テレビ **も** あります translates roughly to "There are _(many things such as)_ picture books, a piano, and a television."
  * 絵本 **と** ピアノ **と** テレビ **が** あります translates roughly to "There is a picture book, a piano, and a television _(and that's exactly it)."_
