Drawing loose inspiration from the work of Leonard Bernstein, Thomas shows one way that composers find ideas, and loose, color-washed illustrations of Lenny's Parisian world have something of the charm of Ludwig Bemelmans about them. A symphonic ode to the act of creation. --Publishers Weekly Lively and stimulating, inviting listeners to join in. Youngsters will remain engaged and enjoy mimicking the onomatopoeic sounds for the assorted noisemakers throughout. --Kirkus Reviews The lively and animated pen-and-watercolor cartoon artwork is the perfect complement to the upbeat text. VERDICT A fine choice for budding young artists and a nice reminder that the mundane can also be sublime. --School Library Journal The text deftly evokes the often-overlooked sounds of daily life, providing plenty of opportunities for young viewers to join in, making for a lively storytime read. --Bulletin of the Center for Children's Books (BCCB) A lovely lesson on the wonders that await when one simply stops to notice. --Booklist
