Music Is… by Stephen T. Johnson - HIGH

Music Is… by Stephen T. Johnson
. NON-FICTION PICTURE BOOK. Simon and Schuster, 2020. $25. 9781416999508 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL - OPTIONAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH 

Throughs a melding or words and picture, Johnson introduces us to a wide variety of musical styles. Then on the backs on the pages he gives backmatter of each style – an explanation, examples of songs, and such. 

 The formatting is the only reason I describe this as optional – the pages are attached to the cover at only one point total. I just don’t know how well that will hold up with circulation or even classroom checkout. Send a link to your music appreciation teachers – it would be a great resource for their personal library.
