Editorial Reviews

". . . a great transition between picture books and novels. In a simple, repetitive, rhyming text, the author describes places where "music" is hidden, just waiting to be released. . . The book is simple and fun, but there is also a deeper meaning hidden behind the collection of aural images -- that music is really everywhere if one is prepared to sit still and listen."
