The Amazing Pop-up Music Book (Amazing Pop-Ups)
"Clop" a rhythm like a pony! Take the musical tree elevator! Meet   Quentin  Quarter Note! With this lively, toe-tapping, time-keeping interactive book,  aspiring young musicians pull tabs, flip flaps, and tickle the ivories of a  real battery-run electronic keyboard (three SR1130 batteries included). Soon  everyone will be reading music! Friendly critters introduce each of the  basic musical elements: rhythm, notes, time signatures, the staff, scales,  sharps and flats, and key signatures. Fabulous images ensure that the  learning will be lifelong--a plump elephant sits on a note to make it  flatter. Rock-'n'-rolling  "Beetles" teach an easy way to remember the order of notes on a staff:  "Even Groovy Bats Drink Fly-juice." The amount of color, creatures, and  information on each page may be a trifle overwhelming, but it leaves no  doubt that there will be something new to discover with every reading.Kate Petty and Jennie Maizels have created several books  designed to make scary subjects less intimidating:The Amazing Pop-Up  Multiplication BookandThe Amazing Pop-Up Grammar  Book. Their imaginative paper mechanics and goofy animal antics  make their books a hit with reluctant learners and avid scholars alike.  (Ages 6 to 10)--Emilie Coulter
