I purchased two copies of this book, one for my stepdaughter who is six years old and another to place in my music studio (I am a music teacher). The pages of this little book are sturdy, like glazed cardstock. As you open to each page there is a fun little riddle, with a flap to open which gives the surprise answer. Kids love this book because it is cute and has surprises inside (it's not always easy to guess the answer!) and I love it because of its beautiful, whimsical artwork and educational value; the answers often have to do with musical instruments. Sometimes the picture itself is the surprise--what looks to be a horn turns out to be a chameleon when the flap is opened!

As you may of read, the basic premise is a poem with a picture that upon unfolding a page, transforms the picture into the answer of the riddle/poem with the last line of the poem being the answer.

The pictures are soft and pleasing, the tall slender book fits in the childs arm span well and they are entranced by the fold out transformation of the picture eg. cello into a bear. Think you will enjoy it. Only problem - the pages of the book are not drool proof.
