K-Gr 2—Early readers are introduced to musical instruments in this clear and easy-to-read series. Each book describes the parts of the instrument, what type of instrument it is (woodwind, etc.), and how it is played with large images and simple sentences. Photos of the instruments are labeled with parts such as string, pick, and mouthpiece. Readers also learn where the instruments are played, in a band, alone, or in an orchestra. Each book closes with a photo glossary, index, and a page titled "things to do next," which includes extension activities such as writing practice, drawing, and discussion. VERDICT This helpful series provides an easy way to integrate music and literacy. Recommended for school libraries and classrooms.
