This amazing book immediately captures the essence of the magic of music, sound and rhythm so that any child will want and need to know more! As a long-term educator and scholar of human understanding I have seen that this book delivers more than words and pictures but a journey of discovery. It leads to understanding and enchanting children into the joy of what makes us all seek music as our accompaniment to our lives and seek out delight and wonder in music to enchant the listener and the learner. Josie Thomas has homed in on the focus of finding excitement and captivation for early learners of music and as she is one of the great teachers of children it is worth noting that this book highlights why this is really worth reading for your child." -Dr Pamela D Schulz OAM, Senior Adjunct Research Fellow, University of South Australia (School of Creative Industries and Communication) Adelaide, July 2018 Read more
