'The Orchestra', a non-fiction book for children, introduces musical instruments, basic musical concepts and the symphonic orchestra. The very straight-forward text is accompanied by playful, but accurate, drawings. A number of musical concepts are explored, among them harmony, tempo and dynamics. The role of the composer and conductor are explored and each musical instrument described. A subplot, apparent only through the illustrations, shows two children who wend their way through the orchestra's rehearsal, visiting the instrument families, and culminates in a full-dress concert. Comprehensive, but simple in its approach, the book combines solid information with an enjoyable format. AUTHOR: Mark Rubin has produced a number of films and television shows for young children. Victor Feldbrill, conductor of the Toronto Symphony program for young children, has reviewed the text for accuracy. Alan Daniel has illustrated a number of books, among them 'Flying and Swimming Creatures' and 'The Bait Chopper'. Full colour illustrations throughout.

Industry Reviews

'An intelligent book, neatly executed, and just insouciant enough to maintain adult interest' The Toronto Globe and Mail.
