In this charming introduction to the orchestra, a child in the role of conductor brings together a playroom's worth of musicians to demonstrate the sounds and characteristics of nine common instruments. Even if young readers and listeners have yet to experience such instruments in real life, they will undoutedly follow author and music teacher Janna Matthies's invitation to bwap, wheetle, and CRASH along with the cuddly and familiar figures of stuffed animals as they all make their way to an imagined stage where everyone has a role.
