Lloyd Mass has done a splendid job at writing this book as he creatively uses various phrases to describe the number of groups in an orchestra such as comparing words like “two” to “duo” and “three” to “trio” and “four” to “quartet” to explain how many people are in these types of groups, which will definitely help many children learn about these group words and how many people are in these groups. Also, Lloyd Mass has done a wonderful job at making the words of the various instruments being played in the orchestra and the group numbers in uppercase letters so that it would be easier for children to understand the instruments being played and the number of people in the various groups being discussed. Marjorie Priceman’s illustrations are colorful and beautiful at the same time as the characters who are playing various instruments have long and wavy bodies and are always presented in an elegant manner as everyone wears a tuxedo or a dress to the orchestra. Also, Marjorie Priceman makes the illustrations extremely colorful as the characters look so lively with their instruments and the stage that the characters stand on is so full of life.

“Zin! Zin! Zin! A Violin” is a beautiful and brilliant book about learning about the various instruments in an orchestra while learning about how many people are in a group name being discussed in this book. I would recommend this book to children ages four and up since there is nothing inappropriate in this book and many small children will easily enjoy the musical theme of this book. ...more
