One day, Fox found a box — only his box is actually a radio. Every day, Fox and his forest friends danced to the music from the box. One day, the box stopped singing. It was only then that the animals really began to listen to the music all around them in the forest.

This book has a good message about music appreciation, and it opens up opportunities for discussions about how music is everywhere.The colorful, simple watercolor illustrations support the story well and don’t distract from the overall message. This book would be best for Pre K – 1st grade, and would be a great read aloud. It would make a wonderful story time where you then make music with ordinary objects.
