Immerse yourself in the wonders of music and magic, as you follow a cast of creative puppets, who want to make a harmonious song late one night. But it's not as easy as it seems, and they encounter some problems along the way. What is their solution?

"This is a delightful story which reaches children on so many levels, allowing them to live fully into their imaginations and encouraging them to create in a variety of different ways while also teaching practical skills of music making and life skills of listening, sharing and working collaboratively."

-Jocelyn Kotchie, Composer and Music Educator, President of the WA Music Teachers Association.

"This book is a blueprint that sets the direction for the joy and yearning for learning. This amazing book immediately captures the essence of the magic of music, sound and rhythm so that any child will want and need to know more As a long-term educator and scholar of human understanding I have seen that this book delivers more than words and pictures but a journey of discovery. It leads to understanding and enchanting children into the joy of what makes us all seek music as our accompaniment to our lives and seek out delight and wonder in music to enchant the listener and the learner. Josie Thomas has homed in on the focus of finding excitement and captivation for early learners of music and as she is one of the great teachers of children it is worth noting that this book highlights why this is really worth reading for your child."
