This was a really sweet story about the magic that comes from sharing music with others. It was lighthearted, visually beautiful, and utterly delightful.

The art really stuck out to me for this book. I felt like the watercolors contributed to the classic storybook atmosphere, and I loved the vibrant colors on every panel. I found the depiction of bard magic to be really clever, and I liked how it evolved as more people joined in. Bard fights...very cool.
