A collectible! This one will make you sway and swing alongwith all the wild animals: chaotic fun, blissful moments and ending the read with a satisfying blooming happy face!

This one is just like watching a short animation movie. The fun is real and you will feel like you are being sucked into the fictional reality of the music being played in it.

The artist. Who are you???? You are so darn talented! All that effort is so worth making another person like me to dream a new dream.

One of the best story picture books ever!

Thank you, authors and the publisher for the advance reading copy.

ROAR-chestra! is a fabulous little picture book that combines fun-to-read, rhythmic and rhyming text with gorgeously dynamic illustrations to explain musical terminology to the young reader. I love the use of animal activity to describe what each term should mean, like bouncing staccato and stampeding fortissimo. The illustrations remind me of my favorite old picture books from my own childhood, and I especially enjoy the touch of the little orchestral bowties on each creature. A charming and delightful introduction to musical language for the little ones!

Thank you to NetGalley and Kids Can Press for the advance review copy.

With inventive illustrations that include an appropriately dramatic conductor and animals going all out to portray what the musical terms mean, children will really absorb the musical terms portrayed in this book.
