Sounds Good!
by Ole Konnecke and Hans Konnecke
Age Range: 6-8
German father and son team Ole and Hans Könnecke have combined their skills to produce this fun and entertaining non-fiction book about musical instruments.
Here the reader can discover what a Dulcimer or Glockenspiel is, how a double bass sounds or what the difference is between a bongo and a conga and which instrument takes just 30 seconds to learn. There are over 50 instruments covered in this book from the familiar – electric guitar, flute, cello and bagpipes – to those that are less common – theremin, vuvuzela and vibraphone.
Ole Könnecke’s delightful conversational text, translated by Melody Shaw, combined with quirky and humorous illustrations across each double-spread – from a fish playing a saxophone; a crocodile playing a kazoo; a bear playing the cello and a gecko playing the Kalimba – provides interesting, practical and curious information about music.
To enhance the learning and enjoyment of Sounds Good!
a selection of music by award-winning musician Hans Könnecke was composed to showcase each instrument and a full band bringing together all of the instruments in the book which young readers can listen to through the QR codes on each page.
Sounds Good! is a clever and innovative book bringing a new way of learning about music which will be perfect for the classroom and those young aspiring musicians.
