(3) K-3 Illustrated by John Herzog. "Clarinet and Trumpet were friends from the first note." The relationship hits a sour note, however, when Clarinet meets Oboe: "Woodwinds should stick together." Sad Trumpet eventually "slid[es] in with" Trombone; French horn and Tuba join them, while Flute and Bassoon back up the woodwinds. A discordant music-room rumble ensues until cool Saxaphone--a brass woodwind--swings in, reminding everyone that playing in harmony sounds best. With an upbeat message about friendship, this pun- and onomatopoeia-filled story is a lively introduction to instruments. The cheery digital illustrations have a retro-cartoon vibe.
