Band Camp! 4: The Big Audition (Band Camp! #4)
The band is excited for the Maestro's performance in the fourth book of this laugh out loud series starring four musical instruments in their first year at Band Camp!
Zook can't contain himself when world renowned composer Maestro Talenti graces the camp with his presence. Zook's big dream is to be the first kazoo to ever be featured in a symphony orchestra, and with the Maestro arriving he sees an opportunity to make that a reality.
But much to Zook's disappointment, the Maestro turns out to be a total snob; he scoffs at the mere suggestion that a kazoo could ever join him on stage. Can the group help Zook convince the Maestro that he can play in tune?

Ok, I'm hard on this, maybe, because the art's fine and it's not an excruciatingly painful read.
HOWEVER
this series features instrument characters at summer camp--that's where the name of the series, Band Camp!, comes from. It's full of jokes that are often bad puns....but they're not music or instrument-related bad puns! Argh! The missed opportunities! Could the accordion wheeze? Could the triangle eagerly contribute just ONE word every once in a while with lots of exclamation points--like most triangle parts do in music? Could the bagpipes whine, or at least speak in a brogue IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS? Come on, man!
The characters could be anything, pantry staples, trucks, toys, etc--they're not characterized in any way that says "instrument". Argh. Why. This coulda been good! (in a good bad pun way*)
*The same author writes the Pea, Bee, & Jay kids' graphic series (which came out before this series)--where a pea goes "SNAP!" and a raspberry blows raspberries, etc. Not genius. But something. Sigh.

I like camping. I like music and instruments. I do not like certain language, especially in books for children, so...no go.
