I am a teacher assistant who introduced this book to children in an afterschool (daycare) program. I have shared this book and tape with children 2and1/2-4 years of age, ( along with a few instruments I could round up from friends). I was amazed at their reaction; they wanted to see and listen to it day after day, week after week. They learned all of the instruments and their categories (ex. woodwinds, brass, etc.) I was so sad to have to return it to the library. It has been over a month and they still ask when we can do "instruments" again. It was a beautiful experience, and I know now to offer them nothing but quality, meaningful materials, for they do respond! and this was one of them. Also, if anyone has an old instrument to donate, they would love it until it fell to pieces. Thanks for all of your help. Most sincerely, kmkla99@yahoo.com
