Review: M Is for Music

What Parents Should Know
Don't be fooled by the alphabet book format. For older
children who love music this book will be a treat.
Families can talk about why they like music and what kinds of music they like.
Common Sense Media Review
This is a compendium of musical terms, styles, instruments,
and personalities put together in the unusual form of an
alphabet book. The oil and acrylic artwork is sophisticated,
interesting, and beautiful, and the design of the book is
stunning. The sophisticated artwork and format may be a bit
difficult for younger children (those for whom alphabet books
are normally written). The average child may find the focus on
such a wide variety of musical information a bit daunting, but
for the child who loves music, this is a must.
From the book:
"Without music to decorate it, time is just a bunch of
boring production deadlines and dates by which bills must be
paid." --Frank Zappa
