Great illustrations with vibrant colors like the cover. Each page introduces another instrument. At the end, all the instruments together create a chamber orchestra. This book is great for math integration with counting from 1 to 10.

A different take on a counting book, one that aims to show off musical instruments as well. It comes off a bit stilted. And the art is only okay.

Great read loud for a toddler like mine who is interested in music & instruments. The poetic text actually mimics the tones of the various instruments as you read aloud.

Counting practice paired with musical instrument introduction, but I should've sought a more audio-friendly format because if you're going to introduce an orchestra, then you should get to hear them too!

Great read aloud for students who enjoy music! The rhyming text is also great for alliteration and other poetic devices. I read this to third graders, and we also talked about how Latin numbers are the basis of words like octet and octagon.

I had fun with this rhyming counting beginning book. The rhyme made a rhythm that fit with all the instruments we see in the orchestra. I miss my time in an orchestra. Those we some good days, they were. I especially miss playing in the Nutcracker every Christmas. I was a piccolo player and very good at it too because I could play it in tune. I loved being the top range of the orchestra.
What I like about this book most is that it uses numbers as a way to teach groups like an octet or a duo or a solo. Books don’t often do that. I also love the artwork here. It is full of movement and swirls and the flute player was pretty cool too.
The nephew recently went to see the Baltimore Orchestra play a concert for kids with his school and he really enjoyed that day. He recognized some of the instruments and he did get excited he knew what the instruments were. He would call them out. He gave this 4 stars. The niece thought the artwork was pretty and she was interested in what you call larger groups like 9 is nonet. She gave this 3 stars.
