Such a great book to introduce the instrument families! I would highly recommend for music teachers and anyone looking to teach children about instruments.
This book is great!
The illustrations are adorable and it is perfect for teaching instrument families. My own children loved the book, so I know my students will too!!
A story that pulls you in with adorable illustrations sure to get your students interested in the families of instruments and how they work together. A must for the elementary music teacher's library!
