The Fabulous Song

32 pp. | Kane/Miller | January, 1998 | Trade ISBN 0-916291-80-4
(4) K-3 Named after Chopin, young Frederic unfortunately has no musical talent. After he has given up trying to learn to play an instrument, he sees a concert and is inspired to conduct all his instrument-playing relatives in an original composition. The theme is heavy-handed, and the story isn't a true depiction of how a conductor or composer works, but humorous touches in the text and art lighten the book.
