Book summary

First there's a trombone playing "with mournful moan and silken tone." It's joined by nine more instruments, each of whose character is poetically described, until a chamber orchestra is assembled. The pictures in this book seem to flow with the instruments they're describing, and even the dog, two cats and mouse who frolic through these pages are entranced by the music. Selected by the New York Times Book Review as one of the Best Illustrated Children's Books of 1995.
