Editorial Reviews

From Publishers Weekly

In answer to a boy's query, an old banjo in the attic of a ramshackle farmhouse remembers when all the instruments there made glorious music; PW praised this "uncommonly moving and heartening tale of hope re-born . . . enhanced by Stephen Gammell's haunting art." Ages 6-10.

This review is from: Old Banjo (Media gram Children's literature series) (Hardcover)

My children and I loved the story, but when we got to the last page we really did listen in our minds what each of the instruments sounded like both individually and as a bad playing a song. We talked about the book and story long after we brought it back to the library.

Ten years later as we are sitting at the table talking, the book came up again! So I called the library we got it from and found the title. Now once again we are enjoying it together along with our grandchildren children.
