The Blurb On The Back:
Ed loves playing the clarinet in an orchestra. He is delighted to share his music with a group of enthusiastic school children - and to invite them to his orchestra’s next concert.
A LITTLE BOOK OF THE ORCHESTRA reveals the world of a large orchestra in a story of one of its musicians and their instrument. In this book, find out about the clarinet and what it is like to learn and play. As you read, you can listen to the amazing music the clarinet creates both on its own and within the orchestra.
( The Review (Cut For Spoilers): )
The Verdict:
Mary Auld (a pen name for Rachel Cooke) and Elisa Paganelli’s illustrated book for readers aged 7+ (produced with the London Symphony Orchestra) intends to get children interested in classical music and playing instruments. Told as a story, there’s a lot of information here but while I liked the audio download accompaniment, I don’t think the format gives itself to casual reading and it’s better used in a formal teaching setting.
A LITTLE BOOK OF THE ORCHESTRA - THE CLARINET was released in the United Kingdom on 9th March 2023. Thanks to the Amazon Vine Programme for the review copy of this book.
