Cover of The Composer Is Dead (Book & CD)If you have ever heard an orchestra play, then you know that musicians are most certainly guilty of something. Where exactly were the violins on the night in question? Did anyone see the harp? Is the trumpet protesting a bit too boisterously?
In this perplexing murder mystery, every instrument is being interrogated!

This is an excellent book using wordplay, humor, and mild suspense. I can't think of anything finer, well maybe seeing a baby being born, but it is a fantastic experience to introduce children to the world of the symphony. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone who has been in a band or orchestra or likes classical music or Lemony Snicket. 5 stars! Loved the book!
As always, I thank you for stopping by and I enjoy hearing of your likes and dislikes regarding children's books!

"And then it also occurred to me that a) so many people were tired of taking their children to hear Peter and the Wolf over and over again; and that b) in some ways, Peter and the Wolf doesn't really teach you about the orchestra," Handler says. "As someone who had grown up on classical music and was in love with the orchestra, I saw there was an opportunity here to make a piece which might speak more directly about the instruments and how they work together."
