Skimmed March 2021. It's fine, with vibrant pictures, easy text, and supplemental finer print text. But it does not have universal appeal... which means that I, with no training & no ability to hear w/skill, found it uninteresting. Skimmed March 2021.

Wonderful illustrations! I used this teaching.... There is a quiz at the end that's nice. Each letter has a word with a quick poem about it, but there's also a more in-depth description for each subject, so you can choose whether you want to go through the book quickly or stop and spend some time.

I love the "O is for Orchestra" and "P is for Percussion" pages. I love the "O is for Orchestra" and "P is for Percussion" pages.

I loved this book on music. It has short rhythmic alphabet based sections, as well as, longer portions that elaborate on a musical term. All my kids ages 2 to 11 enjoyed it and I did too!

This is an awesome themed alphabet book. The illustrations are clever as well as beautiful. An example: "T is for tempo" and the illustration is a turtle (Largo) and a rabbit (Presto). Brass, woodwinds, conductors and composers, they are all here. My favorite: "I is for instrument. Which one will you play? When you join the band, you'll have fun every day." There is a "Q & A" review (with answers) in the back of the book. This is an awesome themed alphabet book. The illustrations are clever as well as beautiful.

Though I wasn't in love with this book, I did like how the author kept much of the descriptive/informational writing off to the sides of each page. I used this to help contribute to my students' learning of instruments in their music class. I don't know that I would use the same book over, but I, personally, found it interesting.

I got this book at the Community Library of the Shenango Valley. I liked that this book showed art integration! It ties in the alphabet and the different things about music, like melody, anthem, and etc. I would definitely recommend this for teachers who want to integrate music and literature in their classrooms.

Combines poetry with nonfiction blurbs. A little text heavy for a picture book but caregivers can have descriptions to describe words of most interest to them, or it's good for advanced readers. Has some patriotic themes in it. Combines poetry with nonfiction blurbs.
