Synopsis

In this melodic book, Kate and her friends visit The Middle C Music Shop and discover the instruments!

Music generates all kinds of sensations in our friends, stimulating their imaginations. When Kate plays the oboe, it sounds like a duck! When Louie plays the piano, it sounds like hammers hitting an anvil, but Kate gets more delicate notes reminiscent of little fairies!

What if we could see the sensations and emotions music evokes? What do these instruments sound like to you?

To help you decide, you can listen to the instruments while you read! Go to Kate's official website for details. (Her web address is included in the book!)
