A comme hautbois

The signed bookplates from both the poet and the illustrator make this feel like a keepsake, not just a kids' book. My daughter picks a different letter to read aloud every night, and the orchestra poems hold up even on the tenth go-round.

Bought this for my niece who just started oboe in school, and she carried it around all week showing everyone the A page. The two signed bookplates feel like a real keepsake rather than a thrown-in extra.

The signed bookplates from both poets make this feel like a genuine keepsake, not just another poetry book. I love how the alphabet structure gives each instrument its own personality, and the playful rhymes actually made me laugh out loud while reading alone.
