Featuring an engaging, poetic text (Lloyd Moss has really captured the essence of each of the presented instruments with his delightful, fun onomatopoeic verses) and combined with Marjorie Priceman's bright and lively, descriptive and to me dancing illustrations, I can certainly understand why and how Zin! Zin! Zin! A Violin was chosen as a Caldecott Honor book. This fun and delightfully engaging picture book about musical instruments and the various sounds they make is truly a small but mighty gem. The niece thought the artwork was pretty and she was interested in what you call larger groups like 9 is nonet. He recognized some of the instruments and he did get excited he knew what the instruments were. The nephew recently went to see the Baltimore Orchestra play a concert for kids with his school and he really enjoyed that day. It is full of movement and swirls and the flute player was pretty cool too. 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. I loved being the top range of the orchestra. I was a piccolo player and very good at it too because I could play it in tune. I especially miss playing in the Nutcracker every Christmas. The rhyme made a rhythm that fit with all the instruments we see in the orchestra. I had fun with this rhyming counting beginning book.
