Ah, Music!: A Joyful Book About Instruments, Composers, and More for Children (Ages 4-8)

Ah, Music! is a charming, inspiring and smart picture books for people of all ages. It makes a strong case for the importance of music of all kinds in our lives. If my children were younger, I'd be reading this with them, but even as an older adult I found much to enjoy in this book. It's rapidly becoming a favorite gift for friends and relatives with children.

I am an elementary music teacher and found this book very helpful in my teaching. It gives general descriptions of what music is, tells about the different instruments, and gives a short history of music by music periods along with well known composers of each period.

Very fun and educational book about instruments, different genres, and the history of music.

It's an ntroductory book for a young child. The book is good for anyone wanting to peek their child's interest in musical instruments.

This is a great book for music teachers, or teachers that know some about music. It is easy to pick a page and teach a lesson on that subject. It is also a good classroom book that will inspire children to want to know more.

An excellent book especially for the price. A great book to have in your collection for when you are teaching music to your children. I recommend buying.

I purchased this for my pre-school music class and it was much too advanced for them. Lots of text and small print make it more suitable as a research material for probably fifth grade and older. I gave it to the music department at school.

Good book for kids who love music.

I have a huge collection of books about music for kids from 0 to 10 years old. I must say this one is a real gem. The illustrations are lovely and very detailed, the information easy to remember and the amount of "theory" just enough to spark curiosity without being overwhelming. I am ordering more copies for my friends' kids! BTW my child is 2 years old and loves the book, so I assume it will be of interest to kids between 2 and as old as 8 (the cover says recommended for ages 4-8).

Great to loan to music students!

beautiful book with a lot of excellent content. highly recommended. our 1 & 3 year old boys love it
