How does an oboe make a boom boom sound? It doesn’t, but that doesn’t stop Felicity from interrupting Mr. V, the band director, as he introduces common instruments to students trying to choose the right instrument for them.

Delightful fun with fictional characters based on real musicians, whose short biographies appear in the back.

Lian Cho’s comical illustrations display large colorful sound words spreading right off the page as each instrument is introduced, and lines of sheet music appear at the button of each page. 

A must purchase for reading aloud and helping students find the perfect instrument for themselves!
