Through photography, bilingual text, and beautifully hand carved, painted, wooden birds, readers are introduced to musical instruments from Mexico. The end notes state the instruments represent those played by musicians from orchestras that perform in the town square of Oaxaca, Mexico on festival days and Sundays.
Well-known instruments such as guitars and maracas are featured against the lesser-known harp and double-bass on multi-colored pages framed with geometric designs. The extremely detailed, brilliantly colored birds and instruments guide the simple, bilingual narrative.
Recommended for ages 3-7.
