5.5

The diverse illustrations are my favorite part of this book—it gives kids the opportunity to see more diverse set of people than they're typically accustomed to seeing in children's literature in a natural way without feeling the need to be preachy and whack you over the head. The music vocabulary is fun and the most surprising part to me is how much my toddler likes it—he'll happily read it again and again!

So fun that this book introduces music vocabulary and even has a list of music terms defined at the end of the book. This book shows the diversity in music, but also a lot of diversity in the people illustrated! The illustrations are really fun and I love the bold pops of color!
