"My favorite part is the development of the piano since I am a pianist. I loved the cute illustrations in this book! The artwork really brings the history to life. I like that the design has small paragraphs of text so that it is easy to read and absorb the snippets of information. As a musician, I really appreciated all the music history, the explanations about types of music, the nature of sounds for each instrument, and how different styles developed." —Luminous Libros"This is a great book for kids and adults that are interested in the origins of various music. Music is important to culture and the human experience, and many learning tools are through music. It is a culturally diverse approach, and the illustrations are colorful and lighthearted." ―Jordan Gray, Librarian"The Stories of Musical Instruments by Stepanka Sekaninova and Jakub Cenkl- This book features many different instruments from around the world from Japanese flutes to didgeridoos.
