by Chris Raschka (Author), Chris Raschka (Illustrator)
You may be surprised
at the tricky music
a box,
a snowflake,
some raindrops,
and a kitten
can make.
Right before your eyes.
And on the pages
of this book.
There is someone
backstage
watching, encouraging
our performers
but keeping them
under control.
Why not
listen along?
