Cuento - Book: This Jazz Man

In this toe-tapping jazz tribute, the traditional This Old Man gets a swinging makeover, and some of the era's best musicians take center stage. The tuneful text and vibrant illustrations bop, slide, and shimmy across the page as Satchmo plays one, Bojangles plays two . . . right on down the line to Charles Mingus, who plays nine, plucking strings that sound divine.

Cuento - Book: Squeak! Rumble! Whomp! Whomp! Whomp!

What's that sound? The back door squeeeeks open, sounding like a nosy mouse nearby-eeek, eeeek, eeeek! Big trucks on the highway rrrrrrrumble, just as hunger makes a tummy grrrrumble. Ringing with exuberance and auditory delights, this second collaboration by world-renowned jazz musician and composer Wynton Marsalis and acclaimed illustrator Paul Rogers takes readers (and listeners) on a rollicking, clanging, clapping tour through the many sounds that fill a neighbourhood.

Cuento - Book: The Music of Life: Bartolomeo Cristofori & the Invention of the Piano

Bartolomeo Cristofori coaxes just the right sounds from the musical instruments he makes. Some of his keyboards can play piano, light, and soft; others make forte notes ring out, strong and loud, but Cristofori longs to create an instrument that can be played both soft and loud.
