10 kleine Musikanten

What does a little musician do when he feels lonely? He is looking for a comrade. And soon, there will be an orchestra of 10 players making music together: with rattles, cookware, a drum, a flute, a xylophone, etc.

The text is nicely illustrated by full-page pictures in four colours, making the children familiar with the numbers 1-10. The song of the 10 little musicians is printed at the end of the book. In addition, this book provides suggestions for how to make the instruments described in the story by oneself by using things and materials from everyday life. – It might perhaps be fun to stage the song in kindergarten or primary school. This is very easy with the help of the accompanying CD containing a recording of the song to sing-along. That way the performance will be a guaranteed success…
