About This Book
A parent might reach for this book when they want to transition a high energy toddler into a moment of calm focus or introduce the building blocks of artistic appreciation. Ditty Bird: Classical Music is an interactive board book that allows small children to trigger high quality recordings of famous compositions with a simple touch. It bridges the gap between play and culture, fostering curiosity and auditory development in children aged 0 to 3. While it is primarily a tool for sensory exploration, it also serves as a gentle introduction to the concept of different musical moods. Parents will appreciate the sturdy construction and the way it empowers a child to control their own musical environment, turning a reading session into a mini concert that encourages both joy and a sense of wonder.
What Parents Should Know

Ideal Reader
A two year old who is fascinated by cause and effect and enjoys dancing to rhythmic sounds. It is also perfect for a child who may be sensitive to loud, jarring noises and prefers the controlled, melodic nature of classical instruments.
Parent Prep
This book can be read cold. Parents should ensure the batteries are fresh to avoid distorted sound, which can sometimes be scary for very young children.
