This 1996 Caldecott Honor Book describes 10 different musical. All in all, a book I would recommend to young music lovers, or to anyone looking for good read-aloud titles. Zin a Violin by Lloyd Moss, Illustrated by Marjorie Priceman. The gouache illustrations by Marjorie Priceman are full of fun, with a sense of movement that perfectly complements the joie de vivre of the text, and are well deserving of the Caldecott Honor that they received. Based on the Popular Book, Zin Zin Zin A Violin, by Lloyd Moss. With mournful moan and silken tone, itself alone comes ONE TROMBONE. The rhyming text bowls along, communicating the tone and feeling of each of the instruments - the "mellow" cello, the "darkly slick" clarinet - while also keeping the rhythm joyfully alive.A celebration of music that also functions as a counting book (the soloist becomes a duo, the duo a trio, and so on), Zin! Zin! Zin! A Violin is an entertaining little tale that would make an ideal read-aloud selection for story-hour. Lloyd Moss, who worked for New York's classical music station, WQXR, for fifty-three years, turned to the world of children's literature in 1995, publishing this debut picture-book about an ever-expanding group of musicians who chime in, one by one, until a full orchestra is in swing! Beginning with a single trombone, Zin! Zin! Zin! A Violin builds momentum and excitement, as each new player joins the group.
