Young Person's Guide to the Orchestra, The (Book & CD) by Anita Ganeri, Benjamin Britten, Ben Kingsley; 1996. Hardcover. (Ch-NF)

This elegant hardcover book-and-CD package introduces the sights and sounds of the orchestra. After listening to the sounds of each instrument on the CD--from mellow flutes to blazing trumpets--readers may turn to the accompanying book to learn more about the orchestra and its instruments. All are invited to tour each section--string, woodwind, brass, and percussion--to discover what makes classical music so universally expressive. “This is a great book for children of all ages.”--American Bookseller
