Part of Abrams' best-selling Can You Find It? series, this book by William Lach, a senior editor at The Metropolitan Museum of Art, introduces young readers to great music through great works of art. From "The Flight of the Bumblebee" to "An American in Paris," beloved music is illustrated by works of art, and the text and CD urge young readers to listen for certain instruments. Can you hear the bee flying, played by the flute? Can you hear the horses' hooves, played by the woodblock? Readers will stop, look, and listen as never before.
— Valerie Ralph of Abrams Books told TDmonthly this title stands out because it provides “an original approach to the appreciation of art through music.” Launch date: January 2007.
