Bookroo's summary

From morning until night, a girl and her dog collect sounds: raindrops, footsteps, birds, breeze and trees. They whirr past a fountain, whizz up to a lookout and whoosh through busy city streets to a forest crescendo, finding music hidden everywhere. Nine instruments and musical notes are tucked into the art for readers to spot.
