The gouache illustrations by Marjorie Priceman are full of fun, with a sense of movement that perfectly complements the joie de vivre of the text, and are well deserving of the Caldecott Honor that they received. Choose from Same Day Delivery, Drive Up or Order Pickup. The rhyming text bowls along, communicating the tone and feeling of each of the instruments - the "mellow" cello, the "darkly slick" clarinet - while also keeping the rhythm joyfully alive.A celebration of music that also functions as a counting book (the soloist becomes a duo, the duo a trio, and so on), Zin! Zin! Zin! A Violin is an entertaining little tale that would make an ideal read-aloud selection for story-hour. Read reviews and buy Zin Zin Zin a Violin - by Lloyd Moss (Hardcover) at Target.
