An AMAZING book for our family that includes violinists。 Would make an excellent gift for a child musician or the child of musicians, or a fun book to have at your music studio!!
Vanessa,
My baby (1yr) loves this book, the buttons are really easy to press compared to other classical music books we have and he enjoys hearing the different instruments with each page。 Happy to say I’m not tired of repeat reads!
TJ & AJ,
We gave this to TJ shortly after our first time going to the symphony, which I'm sure added to his interest。 It's a good introduction to the various instruments。 We gave this to TJ shortly after our first time going to the symphony, which I'm sure added to his interest。 It's a good introduction to the various instruments。 。。。more

Awards: noneGrade level: Prek-1Summary: Learn about the instruments of the orchestra through cute illustrations and sound! After hearing individual instruments/ musical families, listen to how together, they create beautiful music。 My Review: I think this is an adorable book for a class read aloud or for a book to read with family。 It is super short and concise, but readers can learn a lot。 Classical music has so many benefits and exposing it to young children is amazing。In Class:This would be a Awards: noneGrade level: Prek-1Summary: Learn about the instruments of the orchestra through cute illustrations and sound!

Joy,
What a delightful book to teach children about the orchestra。 The book even plays music!
Solomon,
Sol liked pushing the buttons, but wasn’t too interested in the pictures and listening to the text read。
Paul,
Excellent book to read with kids。 Very interesting idea。 Not just showing the orchestra, but the ability to listen to the music。 Definitely a good book for children。
SLoMoe,
A super fun touch the button and hear the music book。 The sounds of this book are authentic and the music and information is great。 The book ends with a scan code that takes you to a video of the orchestra playing the music from the book。 My 4yo and 6yo are entertained by this educational book。

My son and I love this book! We bought it directly from Usborne and we read it regularly。 It's a great, very basic introduction to the orchestra。 My son is just over 2 and he really enjoys it。 We get to check out each section very briefly and use the QR code presented at the end to watch the orchestra play an arrangement of Brahms Hungarian Dance No 5。 I also love that it comes with an off switch to save battery life and store carefully。 My son and I love this book!
