Reviews

Kirkus Reviews

“Hodgkinson’s light verse bounces along, and her illustrations are a riot of color; her four predatory instrumentalists look cute and harmless (if initially ungracious). A breezy nudge for the nascent little music maker.” —Kirkus Reviews

School Library Journal

“From the crooning moose to the singing hippo in a boa, the illustrations don’t miss a beat of humor. Read this aloud with soft but bouncy jazz in the background, and your crowd will cheer as well.” —School Library Journal
