The Oboe Goes Boom Boom Boom by Colleen AF Venable - ESSENTIAL

The Oboe Goes Boom Boom Boom
by Colleen AF Venable
, pictures by Lian Cho. PICTURE BOOK Greenwillow Books (Harper Collins), 2020. $18. 9780062494375 

BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ESSENTIAL 

AUDIENCE APPEAL: HIGH 

The band teacher is introducing all the instruments to the class, but before each child can demonstrate theirs, Felicity, who is very impatient, loudly plays the drum. He also manages the silly behavior of the class while he describes each instrument and tries to tell some of its history, interrupted every time by Felicity. 

I love the illustrations, distributed on the page a bit chaotic, like teacher trying to lead a class, control naughty kids and tell about something exciting all at the same time. I'm purchasing a copy for my library, but picking us some personal copies as well as gifts for my favorite band teachers.
