Review Part of the reason that I chose this is nostalgia. My mother and I read it together when I was growing up. It also includes a lot repetition (such as the repeated question, "Are you my mother?") and basic vocabulary (such as "dog," "cow," "boat," "plane," etc) that make it a strong choice for an Easy Reader section in a children's library (Flock, 2017).

Review Sparse, rhythmic text is integrated into colorful, dynamic illustrations, which appear to be digitally assembled from bright, textured paper. Objects, set against a solid colored background, are easily recognizable, though some pages depict items that might be new to young children, like cassette tapes. Most pages feature expressive people of many skin tones and cultures playing instruments, singing, dancing, or listening to music. The illustrations successfully depict people from many races and cultures without making assumptions. One page shows a black woman rocking out on electric guitar, while another depicts two women in headscarves listening to music on headphones. Yet another shows a family – two dark-skinned men and a little girl – dancing. A glossary of musical terms completes this delightful book and adds interest for both the child and adult reader. Indeed, this book would be fun for music lovers of all ages. Themes Music Opposites Application The compact size and pictorial information make the book ideal for young children to browse on their own, but this book would also work for a small storytime audience because the bold illustrations are visible from a distance. It would be especially relevant to a music and movement program. Read-alikes
