Description
A young person's tour of a symphony orchestra, this book introduces ten quirky animal musicians rehearsing for a concert.
The players include an eccentric hippo flautist, a farmer-dog double bassist, a prim poodle French horn player, and a hip giraffe oboist, with a self-assured billy-goat as the conductor. Children will have fun learning about the instruments in an orchestra and the distinctive sounds they make.

Reviews / Votes
Little ones take a tour through a quirky orchestra's rehearsal in this charming title...The images are set against lots of white space and they are sure to garner chuckles from tots. -- School Library Journal Music teachers of young children will appreciate the book because of the quirky way the animals are dressed and the word plays: "thrummy-thrum," "trip-a-lip," "a-rumble-bumble." Young children love to experiment with words and sounds. They could also have fun drawing their own animals with the instruments. -- New York Journal of BooksMore details
