Going beyond aural appreciation, this book introduces your child to a world of imagination and visualization! For parents, it is undoubtedly an eye-opener too!

There are helpful descriptions and questions on each page to assist parents in guiding their children. Each piece of art and music are named in the example below:

Music: The Four Seasons: Winter (Allegro), Antonio Vivaldi, Italian, 1678-1741.
Track numbers are clearly indicated on each art piece to aid track selection/search. Interestingly, this piece incorporates picture of animal and music with vocals (Duet).
The use of key instrument(s)in each piece of music is included in the brief description. For example in one of the pages, there is the use of Kettledrums. Not sure what instrument that is? You need no further research! All the mentioned instruments are included in the book for extra reading with photographs to show your child!
