Literary criticism and biography in one
Carol Shields has deftly woven together literary analysis with biography in her reconstruction of the life and times of Jane Austen. Unfortunately I am not familiar enough with her books to fully appreciate this book. A true fan of Austen's works will enjoy this book a great deal I'm sure. ... Read more

Originally published in Switzerland, this delightful book in the long, tall Animagicals series (see Animagicals: Colors too)will have your kids celebrating the sound of music! Twelve differentinteractive spreads pose witty rhyming riddles courtesy of poet CarolDiggory Shields, accompanied by Croatian artist Svjetlan Junakovic'swhimsical and lovely paintings of musical instruments. Fold out the flap,and the spread extends to a surprise "animagical"--a creative morphing ofinstrument and animal. The first spread, for example, leads with thefollowing riddle-rhyme: "I plod through the desert / ba-rumpity-bump. / Mydrums keeping time, / ka-thumpity-thump. / Bumpity, thumpity, / rumpity,thump, / I am a..." Open up the page flap, and the drums reveal themselvesto be a "camel, with a drum on each hump." The book marches on through 11more clue-filled poems. An accordion cleverly expands into a caterpillar:"My music is squeezy and / sometimes it's wheezy, / I'm just a... [turn thepage] caterpillar taking it easy." A flute is played by an octopus, aFrench horn is a chameleon. Preschoolers will revel in the discovery ofeach transformation and in the easy rhythm of the riddles. Older readerswill want to guess what the animal will be from the subtle clues in thetext. (It's not easy!) Adults will relish the animagical nature of thewhole package--the gorgeous colors, textures, and composition of Junakovic'swork, along with the quirky playfulness of Shields's poetry.

Soft, pleasing and interactive
As you may of read, the basic premise is a poem with a picture that upon unfolding a page, transforms the picture into the answer of the riddle/poem with the last line of the poem being the answer.

The pictures are soft and pleasing, the tall slender book fits in the childs arm span well and they are entranced by the fold out transformation of the picture eg. cello into a bear.Think you will enjoy it.Only problem - the pages of the book are not drool proof.

Animagicals:Music
I purchased two copies of this book, one for my stepdaughter who is six years old and another to place in my music studio (I am a music teacher).The pages of this little book are sturdy, like glazed cardstock.As you open to each page there is a fun little riddle, with a flap to open which gives the surprise answer.Kids love this book because it is cute and has surprises inside (it's not always easy to guess the answer!) and I love it because of its beautiful, whimsical artwork and educational value;the answers often have to do with musical instruments.Sometimes the picture itself is the surprise--what looks to be a horn turns out to be a chameleon when the flap is opened! ...
