With mournful moan and silken tone,

　　itself alone comes ONE TROMBONE...

　　Then a trumpet joins in to become a duet; add a French horn and voila! you have a trio -- and on it goes until an entire orchestra is assembled on stage. Lloyd Moss's iresistible rhymes and Marjorie Pricemans's energetic illustrations make beautiful music together -- a masterpiece that is the perfect introduction to musical instruments and musical groups, and a counting book that redefines the genre.

"A book from which music issues forth as clearly as from any music box."-- New York Times Book Review "A delight...this title will surely be met with applause."-- School Library Journal, starred review
