About This Book
Wynton Marsalis, a renowned jazz musician, takes young readers on an energetic and rhythmic tour of a neighborhood's soundscape. From the gentle hum of a refrigerator to the boisterous clang of a garbage truck, children will discover the "music" in everyday noises. This book is perfect for ages 4-11, encouraging observation, building sound-related vocabulary, and fostering an appreciation for the world's natural symphony. It's a fantastic read-aloud that will have kids listening more closely to their own surroundings.
