Customer Reviews

Let's make some noise!

"I Make Music," by Eloise Greenfield, is illustrated by Jan Spivey Gilchrist. The text is a simple poem, told in the 1st person by a child character. The narrator expresses her joy at making music in a variety of ways: playing a toy xylophone, simply slapping her thigh, and more. Sample text: "I make good music/ on my drums,/ I make good music/ with my thumbs." The bright, colorful artwork is effective although not especially outstanding. Overall, a fun book.

Great story

I love to see positive Black Books and Eloise Greenfield fits the bill. This story tells of a toddler and the various ways she makes music. The pictures are simple yet full of life and the story really flows. My Maddie requests this book over and over so I think this is the perfect book for any toddler.
