Review: GREAT SCHOOL PICTURE BOOK - The book is a little wordy for a class tell out loud (not read along), but the pictures are great. The story is great. I use it with videos of harpsicord workings and then piano workings. The kids are fascinated.
Review: Great for kids learning Piano - My son is learning Piano and his teacher recommended this book. He loved the story and I even loved learning about the invention of the Piano! Such a great books for little muscians. It’s a bit big and more for older kids. 4+

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The Best Picture Book We Have Owned So Far!
*by E***C on January 4, 2019*

I gave my 6-year-old daughter, who has been taking piano lessons for almost 2 years, this book as a part of Christmas gifts. I had a high expectation before the book arrived since I read the great reviews on this book. It arrived with a very tiny dent on one corner of the book, but that didn't bother me enough to return it. The day after Christmas, my daughter and I read it together, and I was so thrilled to find out that this book was actually beyond my expectation! The size of the book is bigger than I thought and it's already fun just to look at the beautiful pictures, but the wording, the story, and everything about this book was so perfect that we both were quickly drawn into it! My daughter had already been in love with the piano and practicing hard everyday, however, after we read this book, I feel that she respects and appreciates the instrument even more. I would recommend this book to everyone (any age, probably from 5 to adult). If you or your child play the piano, you will definitely love it!!
