Description
Poppy and the Orchestra takes children and their grownups on a musical adventure to the symphony. On this adventure, Poppy meets new friends who introduce him to the sounds of individual orchestral instruments.
With 16 buttons to push and hear, listen to the sounds of the different instruments as you follow along with the story: the clarinet, the piano, the violin, the double bass, the xylophone, the piccolo, the celesta, the cello, the flute, the bassoon, and…the orchestra of The Carnival of the Animals by Camille Saint-Saëns!
Vibrantly illustrated by Magali Le Huche, Poppy and the Orchestra is the perfect introduction to classical music and the instruments of the orchestra for kids—one the family will enjoy returning to again and again.
Discover even more musical adventures with: Poppy and the Brass Band, Poppy and Mozart, and Poppy and Vivaldi.

Featured Reviews
A great way to teach young people about the different sounds of the orchestra. Given that this is an e-copy, I've not had the full experience of the 16 push sounds featured in this book, but from the text and illustrations alone I can see that a lot of instruments have been covered! The musicians are all animals, which is a nice fun touch. The illustrations are all double-page spreads with an explosion of colour, and the areas of text have been lightened in colour so that the text is easier to read - this always helps!
I had the pleasure of reading this through an Ebook source so I did not get to hear each sound, however I can tell this would be a book young children would love! With all the sounds and buttons to push they will love the interaction. I would definitely buy this for my grandson when he is a bit older.
Although this is a digital copy of a book that produces sound, I enjoyed the illustrations and that this book teaches children of different instruments. I look forward to its release and hearing the sounds that accompany the story. The inattentiveness that this book provided to a learning child is a tremendous idea.
I loved the idea of this book! I only had the pleasure of reading this as an ebook so I didn't get to hear the sounds but from the layout, images and concept I can tell that the physical book would be great and a book that younger children would love, especially those with an interest in music, or for parents looking to introduce them to new sounds! I would definitely buy this for my daughter when she is a bit older - music classes for babies are a big thing at the moment so this is definitely a must buy!.
What a wonderful and endearing story. The illustrations are fun and playful. They make you want to be there. The interactive buttons to play to hear the sounds of the instrument will be a big hit with all youngsters. A book you can use over and over again or use as a launch pad to introduce children to instrumental music, or play games to see if they can figure out what sounds they hear in children's music. Anything to inspire children to explore music and creativity is a big plus for me.
