Reviews
K-Gr 2-Each offering asks the title question and answers it with a series of simple sentences that describe the main parts of the instrument, other forms of the instrument, and how it is played. Approximately four spreads of images demonstrate the instrument as it is played and enjoyed by various children or adults. The font is large, and unusual pronunciations are sounded out by syllable for readers. All of the photographic images are explained; magnified, sectional views of each instrument enable youngsters to view details and understand descriptions-e.g., guitar strings across frets, piano hammers and strings, a tennis shoe pressing a pedal, or mosaic detail around a drumhead. Useful additions for young music lovers.-Mary Elam, Learning Media Services, Plano ISD, TXα(c) Copyright 2011. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
