5.0 out of 5 stars My children love this book., February 11, 2003

This review is from: Buzz and Ollie's Loud, Soft Adventure (Hardcover)

The Adventures of Buzz and Ollie are an excellent resource for early childhood music education. I have experienced the value of this book in two roles. As a music educator, I appreciate this insightful introduction to the fundamental musical concept of amplitude. As a parent, I appreciate how the clever rhymes and colorful graphics hold the attention of my own children as they enjoy the amusing plots. This is one volume in a great set of well-produced books for home and school. My family bought a set for ourselves and one for our children's elementary school library.

This review is from: Buzz and Ollie's Loud, Soft Adventure (Hardcover)

This book is fun to read, both to children and by children. Without even realizing it, they will be learning key musical concepts. The illustrations are great! And they are large enough to be seen by a group of children if the book is being read to them.

5.0 out of 5 stars Delightful learning adventure!, January 30, 2003

This review is from: Buzz and Ollie's Loud, Soft Adventure (Hardcover)

I found Buzz and Ollie's Loud, Soft Adventure to be a delightful and enjoyable reading experience. What a fun way to learn musical concepts! I especially enjoyed the bright, colorful illustrations. Children of all ages will surely enjoy the advertures that Buzz and Ollie find themselves in and they will be learning foundational music concepts in the process. My four year old grandson (who rarely sits still for long) enjoyed it from cover to cover as did I. I highly recommend this book.
