This new book just came in and I love it! I am planning to pair it with the recording of the song the boy in the book plays in his competition. It is super easy to read and does a great job of turning music into a visual experience. I might have the kids listen to music and draw what it shows them. I think I will ask them what color the music feels like and what shape or form it might look like in a picture. What other music books would go well with this for a storytime?
What about "Be Quiet, Mike?" Or for older kids, either of Pinkney's biographies about Duke Ellington or Ella Fitzgerald.
ReplyDeleteThe new Herve Tullet book, Say Zoop!, is coming out in August, and looks like it will be a musical experience. I can't wait to see it!
