Reviews

Second in a series by a classically trained Mexican pianist that began with Listen to the Birds (2013), this will be welcomed by teachers, music-loving parents and their children. -- Kirkus Reviews

My 6 and 4 year olds are obviously younger than the recommended age, and thus some of the illustrations were a little intense for them (the witches, goblins, gnomes, etc.) but they still LOVED the book and CD! --Carinn, thesimplemoms.com
