(3) K-3 Raschka retells Prokofiev's symphony, adding his own twist to the story's ending. As he has done with his other music-themed picture books, Raschka uses words to mimic the sounds of the music. He creates an alternative experience of the symphony through rhythmic verse and his distinctive swirling, dark-outlined illustrations.
