Harmoniously combining two concepts (letters and music), this lively board book will soon become a family favorite!

Reviews:

"On the first spread, 'Auntie Bangs Congas / Daddy Enjoys Flute.' This ABC configuration (two or three letters per page form simple noun-verb-noun sentences) cleverly continues throughout, culminating in 'you' zigging, zagging, and zooming during the family’s climactic beach performance." - The Horn Book, Summer 2017 Board Book Roundup

"An extended family makes beautiful music together with a wide array of instruments. 'Auntie Bangs Congas / Daddy Enjoys Flute' reads the first two pages, setting a pattern in which each family member is introduced playing their instrument of choice as family dog Ramone provides a bit of action... A delightful ditty of a book." - Kirkus Reviews
