Silent Music: A Story of Bagdad by James Rumford

3.0

This one won at the Mock Caldecott I attended - and while I can appreciate its strengths, it just didn't appeal to me as much as some of the others. I really liked the use of patterns in the illustrations, but it felt a little busy. The story is timely, but it felt a little over-ambitious in terms of trying to cram in too many themes. Great colors and details, though.
