Illustrated by
Monique Felix.
As he walks to his tuba lesson, a boy encounters a lively group of woodland animals. Felix cleverly incorporates musical notation into her illustrations for this imaginative almost-wordless story. The lines of the musical staff become the path the boy follows from page to page, and the notes themselves play an important part in the adventure he has along the way.
