Despite not having a young child, or a boy, my family and I very much enjoyed this book. We especially liked that it was not only entertaining but taught music as well. It is written and illustrated in a manner that captures children's attention. I would recommend this book not only for parents who want their children to learn and appreciate music but anyone who wants to encourage their child to to dream & believe in their own potential. The can do attitude in this book is contagious; a must read for children and adults of all ages.
