The very straight-forward text is accompanied by playful, but accurate, drawings. A number of musical concepts are explored, among them harmony, tempo and dynamics. The role of the composer and conductor are explored and each musical instrument described. A subplot, apparent only through the illustrations, shows two children who wend their way through the orchestra's rehearsal, visiting the instrument families, and culminates in a full-dress concert. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e Comprehensive, but simple in its approach, the book combines solid information with an enjoyable format. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Mark Rubin\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0920668992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780920668993\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Firefly Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 03\/01\/1992\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 44\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.32lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.48h x 7.58w x 0.13d\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAccelerated Reader:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReading Level:\u003c\/b\u003e 4.9\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePoint Value:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.5\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eInterest Level:\u003c\/b\u003e Middle Grade\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eQuiz #\/Name: \u003c\/b\u003e58970 \/ Orchestra\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eReview Citation(s): \u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eSchool Library Journal\u003c\/i\u003e 06\/01\/1992 pg. 111","brand":"Mark Rubin","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44045212745983,"sku":"9780920668993","price":9.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_d6c75c38-cc4e-45e8-9771-a8e8c8f7b1f0.jpg?v=1684977406","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-orchestra-mark-rubin-9780920668993","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
