He doesn’t stop playing thoughm he plays with all his heart and finally someone appreciates it. They get angry, they threaten to chase him, and he doesn’t stick around. The sound is not music to the animals and people in the forrest. Moose finds a violin in the mid and picks it up, and plays it. Moose Music by Sue Porter is a goofy book about how what might sound like a racket to you, may indeed be music to other ears. This book reminded me of the broadway show “Stomp” from the 90s, and is a great lesson for kids about how accessible making music really is. My son loved when they had a “Hootenanny” and everyone together makes music in their own way. Sunny hears music from the animals around town, the vehicles and of course his friends playing at the playground. Sunny by Robin Mitchell and Judith Steedman is a great book about finding sounds all around and making music with anything and everything you find. My favorite part is in one illustration Mole is playing anf in another tunnel you can see his old TV discarded and tipped over, I like that message. Now yes I think that one little mole’s music ending a war is a rather large statement but if you break it down, music and the arts are vital and do transform people’s lives the way they transformed Mole’s. In reality his music is nourishing a grand tree above the ground that serves roles in great things including as a mediator in a battle where both sides end up coming to a peaceful agreement instead of warfare. His music becomes beautiful, and over the years he thinks only he can hear and enjoy it. He is terrible at first but sticks with it. The story is about a mole who sees a violin on TV one day and decides to get his own and play. Mole Music by David McPhail is a beautiful book about the power of music, trying hard and not giving up on your dreams. It’s done and leaning only a little to the right.This picture took almost as long to take as the stand took to make. Have your helper hold the tube to the bottom of the box.Cut 4 slits on the other end about the same length to make an X shape.Make a slit on either side of one end of the roll about 2-3 inches long.Start by having your wee one add stickers to the roll for decoration, you can also paint or color it too! Can you tell he just got up from a nap?.You will need a wrapping paper roll, a shoe box, decorations ( we used stickers), scissors and a lot of packing tape. So it shouldn’t have been such a shock when he said he wanted to make one for a project. At restaurants the “Please wait to be seated” sign is one, at parks the little signs that tell you about the plants become ones and on the airplane his tray table became one too. He is also into music stands and every where we go he finds one. I know this isn’t going to be the most popular post we have ever posted, but my son is into music. ![]()
