Music is magical. Whether it is fast or slow, loud or soft, haunting or uplifting, music makes our world a richer place. Some people dance to it, some write, play or sing it, and others just listen. Music's power is that it touches everyone in different ways. It can be enjoyed by a crowd or by one person alone; it can mark grand occasions or bedtime. We're so used to having music in our lives that we may not always notice how it affects us. In this lilting tribute, Lloyd Moss and Philippe Petit-Roulet lead us to think about how different the world would be if we didn't have music.
"Music Is" was our introduction to Lloyd Moss. You can't help but move to the rhythm and rhyme in Lloyd's poetry. The book is fun and exporatory, flying through all kinds of music (opera to cha cha). We took this book out of the library, and my three-year-old reaches for it every day. She loves to bounce along to it and can recite parts. Illustrations are fun and simple. Definitey worth purchasing! A great intro to music.
A wonderful children's book

Moss's gentle introduction to music is delightful. We always enjoy Lloyd Moss's books, and I often give them as birthday gifts to my childrens' friends. I believe in exposing children to the joys of music in every way possible, which is why I enjoy his books. We also are fond of his Zin Zin a Violin, an alphabet book with fanciful illustrations.
