Polly and the Piano.(Children's Review)(Book Review)
Polly and the Piano (w/CD), by Carol Montparker. Amadeus Press, LLC (512 Newark Pompton Tnpk., Pompton Plains, NJ 07444), 2004. 40pp. $19.95.
Carol Montparker's previous books geared toward adults are well-known to many teachers and pianists. The multi-talented author, pianist and artist richly displays her writing, performing and painting skills in Polly and the Piano, a foray into children's literature. Montparker's versatility is rivaled only by that of her book's subject, Polly-Esther, a mixed breed dog who sleeps under the piano, loves music and even attends a concert in Carnegie Hall!
This hardcover book, with accompanying CD, makes a nice addition to one's studio waiting area, studio-lending library or as a gift for young friends. If you plan to include this in your waiting area, be sure to include a CD player with headphones, so students, parents or siblings can listen to the CD while waiting.
The book's vocabulary is probably at least at a fourth-or fifth-grade level, but some gifted third-graders could read this book themselves. ...
