BUYING ADVISORY: EL (K-3) - ADVISABLE
AUDIENCE APPEAL: AVERAGE
Philadelphia is a noisy place, but some of that is the joyful sounds of kids playing instruments they learn in school. Until something happens and their instruments break. Then it doesn't sound joyful at all, it's pretty dull and can be annoying. No one wants to play a broken instrument. So, a group of musicians got together to play a benefit concert with a special symphony inspired and played by the broken instruments.
What? This happened? Oh, I loved this story - the written sounds of the instruments playing (and how that sound changed once it was broken) and the inspiring ending were all perfect! Gosh, can't wait to show my favorite music teacher. Includes an author's note about the organization with a link to hear the symphony. Definitely buying.
