Reviews

[Mary Greer Thomas · Rating 3 out of 5]

Big colorful eye catching illustration for young children. This book is a good read for introduction to music with young children. The young children are exposed to the importance of social emotional development and play. This books is about different instruments and the loudness of these instrument. The book touches on our listening senses and the effects that young children can have on other senses while playing instruments.

The life and times of a child savant, and the community that came to appreciate and support him. :) The opposite of Kraus' Leo the Late Bloomer.
