In Cox's (Now We Can Have a Wedding!) rhythmic story, a cheerful African-American girl introduces the members of her family, each of whom plays an instrument in a different musical setting-with the aspiring young percussionist accompanying. When her mother plays fiddle in a country-and-western band, the girl shakes the tambourine; when her father plays cello in a string quartet, she picks up the triangle; when her sister plays clarinet in the marching band, she works the cymbals; and when her brother plays lead guitar in a rock 'n' roll band, she rings the cowbell.

Publishers Weekly
In Cox's (Now We Can Have a Wedding!) rhythmic story, a cheerful African-American girl introduces the members of her family, each of whom plays an instrument in a different musical setting-with the aspiring young percussionist accompanying. When her mother plays fiddle in a country-and-western band, the girl shakes the tambourine; when her father plays cello in a string quartet, she picks up the triangle; when her sister plays clarinet in the marching band, she works the cymbals; and when her brother plays lead guitar in a rock 'n' roll band, she rings the cowbell. The woodblock, maracas, rhythm sticks and wind chimes are among the other percussion instruments the child plays alongside other family musicians, who perform in a jazz club, and polka and bluegrass bands, among other places. In a playful final performance, the girl bangs on a soup kettle when her toddler niece "plays the pots and pans, drumming on them with a wooden spoon." First-time illustrator Brown's cut paper art, which features a pleasing palette blending muted and vibrant hues, is perhaps a bit too stylized to match the narrative's buoyant tempo. The facial features of the characters, including the narrator, disappear when the figures are pictured in the background. A glossary offers concise explanations of the musical genres, venues and instruments. Ages 4-8. (Sept.) Copyright 2003 Reed Business Information.

From The Critics
Music has often been referred to as the universal language, and the gifted young girl telling this story can attest to this statement. Her multi-talented family boasts of a mixed interest in a variety of musical styles. The narrator supplements and enhances her family's talents by playing the tambourine, triangle, cymbals, and other percussion instruments. She proudly demonstrates her flair by joining each family member as they display their own unique interest in all types of music. Their musical preferences range from country-and-western to big band, jazz, polka, and of course, rock 'n' roll. The text may be simple but the narrator's appreciation of all types of music conveys a deeper message of acceptance. By openly embracing each of these styles she is innocently demonstrating an acceptance and enthusiasm for the culture that created it. The lively illustrations superbly augment this underlying theme. The book concludes with a glossary that provides a slightly more detailed description of each musical type. 2003, Holiday House, Ages 4 to 8.
