Do you remember the first time you were introduced, in person, to an orchestra one instrument at a time? What a thrill to hear the instrument and what it was capable of playing! In this book, an orchestra conductor does just that. Since the reader can not hear the instrument, Gabriel Alborozo has invented a colorful visual for each instrument’s sound.The timpani have bluish fingery clouds, while the cymbals have bright golden yellow sound shock waves, and the xylophone has multi-colored confetti floating in the air. After the percussion section comes the brass, then the strings, wood winds, and a piano and harp. Finally the conductor asks, ”  ‘So let’s see how they all fit together, shall we? One, two, three…’   MAGNIFICO! ”
