This book is a winner in the annual Scholastic, Inc. "Kids Are Authors" competition. It is bright, colorful, and shiny cover to cover. It's a story about children who befriend a lonely, old man whose arthritis has deprived him of his career as a world-renowned cellist. Predictably, the old man teaches the children lessons about life, associating memories with "music in the heart." The book's bright and bold colors and heartwarming story should be captivating to elementary-age children. One can't help but smile while reading this book. Dimensions: 8"x10"x1/8"
