School Library Journal - 08/01/2024 PreS-Gr 2—As night falls, wild animals use their bodies to create sounds that together become something like a symphony. This book emphasizes that parallel, using rhyming text and vivid photos of animals to help children connect those sounds with the instruments found in an orchestra. A wood thrush's song is compared to a flute, a cricket is compared to a cello, and a woodpecker is compared to a snare drum. Young readers will be fascinated by the beautiful images of animals; educators and older readers will enjoy the notes in the back matter that provide more specific information about each of the animals, as well as the musical instruments. VERDICT A strong choice for libraries needing unusual perspectives on wildlife or seeking good cross-curricula material.—Debbie Tanner - Copyright 2024 Publishers Weekly, Library Journal and/or School Library Journal used with permission.
