Children's Literature <br>The I Wonder Why series attempts to answer questions about various topics as a way of introducing young children to the world around them. The title question of this book is answered on page 26. A species named the grasshopper mouse stands on his back legs and sings to attract a mate. A wide variety of musical questions and answers cover such subjects as the deafness of Beethoven, the holes of flutes, the definition of a gamelan, the largest musical instrument, and how to sing a round. A group of illustrators contributed lively and colorful pictures that add greatly to the book's appeal. There are also many additional facts scattered throughout the pages. While a few pronunciations are given, more would have added to enhance the usefulness of this title, which is intended for early elementary-aged children. If reference material is needed, this is a possible consideration for purchase. <br> <p>
