Zin! Zin! Zin! A Violin (Caldecott Honor Book)

Amazon.com

"The STRINGS all soar, the REEDS implore, / The BRASSES roar with notes galore. / It's music that we all adore. / It's what we go to concerts for." In this exuberant tribute to classical music and the passionate, eccentric musicians who play it, author Lloyd Moss begins with the mournful moan and silken tone of one trombone. A trumpet sings and stings along, forming a duo, then a fine French horn joins in, "TWO, now THREE-O, what a TRIO!" The mellow cello ups it to a quartet, then ZIN! ZIN! ZIN! a violin soars high and moves in to make a quintet. The flute that "sends our soul a-shiver" makes a sextet, and "with steely keys that softly click," a sleek, black, woody clarinet slips the group into a septet. We move on! A chamber group of ten! And the orchestra is ready to begin. Moss should be congratulated for creating a playful, musical stream of rhyming couplets that seamlessly, slyly teaches the names of myriad musical groups. Marjorie Priceman, the whimsical, masterful illustrator of Elsa Okon Rael's When Zaydeh Danced on Eldridge Street and Jack Prelutsky's For Laughing Out Loud, won a Caldecott Honor Award for this swirling, twirling, colorful musical world worthy of thunderous applause and a standing ovation. (Ages 4 to 8) --Karin Snelson

Book Description

When this book begins, the trombone is playing all by itself. But soon a trumpet makes a duet, a french horn a trio, and so on until the entire orchestra is assembled on stage. Written in elegant and rhythmic verse and illustrated with playful and flowing artwork, this unique counting book is the perfect introduction to musical groups. Readers of all ages are sure to shout "Encore!" when they reach the final page of this joyous celebration of classical music.

great introduction to musical instruments.......2007-04-01

fun rhyming, simple counting and an interesting introduction to instruments. hidden cat and mouse chase is an added bonus. my children and my nieces and nephews (ages 3 - 8) love it.

A great delight.......2007-03-19

I must admit, I didn't like this book to begin with.

As other reviewers mentioned, this book is not written to a child's level. I usually like to buy my daughter books that have bigger words sprinkled in the verses, but it seems like this book is crammed with the bigger words. Yes, the descriptions of the sound were accurate - but would a preschooler really understand the descriptions without hearing the instruments? I didn't think that she would be able to understand why the clarinet played "breezy notes so darkly slick," or the oboe was "gleeful, bleating, sobbing, pleading through it's throbbing double-reeding" without being exposed to sound of the instruments. In other words, I didn't think my daughter would be able to understand what the words meant from the context of the book alone.

So why five stars then?

We started reading this book a month ago, and since then my daughter has been asking for it every day - sometimes five times a day.

As other reviewers mentioned, this book is great for reinforcing counting. It is quite refreshing to be able to count musicians as they're added to the orchestra, instead of just counting sheep or dinosaurs. The illustrations are quite beautiful, and in addition my daughter now knows the names of all of the instruments in the book.

I also dusted off our Mozart Magic Cube (used to be called Embryonics Music cube)- a "music block toy" that has sound samples of four of the instruments in this book - the flute, harp, french horn, and violin. Whenever we read this book, my daughter finds the appropriate instrument for the appropriate verse. At the end, my daughter and I "clap loudly and shout 'Encore,'" and we play the entire orchestra on Mozart Magic cube again.

And that, as the book says, "is a great delight." I have fun reading this book to her, even when I read it over and over again.

Nice Book.......2007-02-08

This is a nice introduction to a few different things in symphonic music...the instruments, and they types of groups (quartets, etc). The drawings are nice and appeal to children. I highly recommend it.

Great book!.......2007-01-08

Beautiful illustrations, neat subject matter. Not your typical child's book, and very refreshing.

If neatness counts for you, don't count on Anne Rice's musical-ghost novel Violin. It is an eruption of the author's personal demons, as messy as the monster bursting from that poor fellow's chest in the movie Alien. Like Rice, the heroine Triana lives in New Orleans, mourns a dead young daughter and a drunken mother, and is subject to uncanny visions. A violin-virtuoso ghost named Stefan time-trips and globetrots with Triana, taunting her for her inability to play his Stradivarius--which echoes composer Salieri's jealousy in Amadeus and possibly Rice's jealousy of her successful poet husband Stan Rice in the years before her own florid, lurid writing made her famous. The storytelling here is too abstract, but the almost certainly autobiographical emotions could not be more visceral. At one point, the narrator exclaims, "Shame, blame, maim, pain, vain!" But Rice's dip in the acid bath of memory was not in vain--she packs the pain of a lifetime into 289 pages.

Book Description

In the grand manner of Interview with the Vampire, Anne Rice's new novel moves across time and the continents, from nineteenth-century Vienna to a St. Charles Greek Revival mansion in present-day New Orleans to dazzling capitals of the modern-day world, telling a story of two charismatic figures bound to each other by a passionate commitment to music as a means of rapture, seduction, and liberation.

Customer Reviews:

Really, Really good.......2007-07-20

I must say I really enjoyed this book. The writing is gorgeous, the story is superb, and most importantly the characters are vibrant and real. No, this isn't part of the Vampire Chronicles so don't expect anything like the Queen of the Damned (for example). But it's not supposed to be. It is the story of Triana Becker's perserverance in the face of terrible grief and suffering, and the powerplay between Triana and the ghost Stephan. The end is not a physical battle like (for example) the battle versus the Queen of the Damned, but an emotional one in which Triana must fight her own demons. Will she succeed? You'll have to read the book (or listen to the audiobook, as I did).

Be patient, dear reader. Be patient........2007-03-09

It is only through patience that once can truly appreciate this work. For only if you've the patience to trudge through the morbid obsessiveness of the first third of this book and to be drug down into the depressing depths of it can you appreciate this tale of Triana, a woman eaten away by her own guilt and obsession with death, and Stefan, the worldly ghost of a violin virtuoso straight out of the days of Beethoven. This is a tale of redemption and triumph that is not for the squeamish and not for those impatient for quick resolution, but is a wonderful read that rewards those who give it the chance to do so. Bravo, Anne Rice.

Seriously, this is a good book!!.......2007-01-01

Wow, I am one of a few here who really liked this book by Rice. I found that it had depth-- you could almost taste the main characters greif in this story and also the passion that the ghost in the story has for the violin and music. I did not have a problem maintaining interest in this book from start to finish. It may be my second favorite Rice book. :)

Woeful departure.......2006-12-04

I have attempted this book several times, it is abysmal. There are many other horrible books I have read and finished (not by Anne Rice), desperately hoping for something redeeming to occur at the end, which rarely ever happens. With Violin, I couldn't force myself to complete it, it was that bad. The most sustained effort I have made got me roughly 150 pages in before I had to put it down and move on. The character rambles and rambles and goes nowhere except to rehash her previous ramblings. I am a huge Anne Rice fan, not just of her vampire books. I have read everything she has published under her own name and loved it. When her descriptions become verbose and poetic, I'm in heaven, I love her ability to paint mundane things in a beautiful light. Her accounting of the family history in The Witching Hour is amazing, especially considering there is no action, just exquisite description. This book had none of that, it was painful to read in the worst way. Shortly after this book was published, I read in the news about how Ms. Rice was a diabetic and had been unaware of this for some time. Her untreated diabetes had caused massive depression and I believe this book is a reflection on the mental anguish she was going through. It is not beautiful, not poetic, and worst of all, not interesting. If you are browsing for a good Anne Rice novel, I beg you, pick anything she has written other than this one.

Was there even point in this story?.......2006-07-26

The story is not only rather boring, and overly descriptive (I am an Anne Rice fan by the way) but by the end you're left asking...¨So why did this ghost come around? And uh...his life wasn't THAT tragic...and honestly what was the POINT of this story???¨ There are so many loose ends that you'll find yourself scratching your eyes out wishing you hadn't went past the first chapter of which you were already thinking Ï hope this gets better¨

Music Positively Affects Young Lives.......2003-03-19

As devastating as it must have been for Roberta to 'lose' her husband, this unfortunate turn of events in her life ended up saving and improving immeasurable young lives in East Harlem. Often something that seems to be tragic is actually a blessing in disguise and Roberta's dedication to the violin and teaching has made and continues to make a huge difference in the lives of many children. This is a touching story of the life of an American-Italian woman and how she was able to affect the lives of young people. I greatly recommend it - especially to those in power of cutting funds for music in public places!

Music of the Heart.......2000-05-31

She had no idea where to begin. Her marriage having just collapsed, she arrived in New York City in 1980 with her two boys and a crate full of violins. Music of the Heart (by Roberta Guaspari with Larkin Warren) is a story about Roberta Guasparti and how much music impacted her life and the lives of those she came in contact with. Roberta began playing the violin at age nine, and through her life, her violin has been the only instrument that, through playing, she found peace, sanity, and control for a once shattered life. Being a violin player myself, I can relate and understand how much music can impact someone's life. Through this book, I can see how important music is to Roberta, to me, and others as well. One life-shattering thing that Roberta went through was the finding out of her husband's affair. The Guaspari family was living in Greece at the time, and the night before they were supposed to catch a flight back to the United States, Roberta discovered her husband and another lady at 2:00 in the morning on a beach. She was literally devastated. Her husband then announced that he didn't want her to be a part of his life anymore, and the only thing she could do for the next couple of days was lay in bed, stare at the spinning ceiling, and cry. Starting out again in America, she stayed with her parents until she could get back on her feet again. After realizing what more life had to offer, she eventually moved out on her own with her two sons Nick and Alexi. They ended up in East Harlem and music became a huge part of her life again. She began teaching kids of all ages at a public school that met many difficulties. Having a low budget to work with, she had to give more time, money, and energy that she ever imagined. But her school kids, their progress, and getting back on her feet brought her happiness again. This book reminded me of how much I love music, especially violin music. That is what first got me interested in this book. If you are interested in any sort of music, or want to know how much it can affect you, I would suggest Music of the Heart.

I'd like to have the artwork on the walls of my music studio to remind me . . .it's all about the energy we put out into the world. A timeless and most important lesson! Thank you David McPhail!

Mole's Music.......2003-11-17

Not only is the story itself quite clever but the music notes in the growing tree are also quite well chosen. When Mole begins to play the violin the music that is produced on the tree is what almost every beginner learns to play, "Twinkle, Twinkle Little Star". The music of Brahms and Beethoven are illustrated in the tree throughout the book. When the soldiers first stop at the tree, the notes are from Beethoven's 6th Symphony,"The Pastoral". When the soldiers drop their weapons and shake hands, Mole is playing "Ode to Joy" from Beethoven's 9th Symphony. And what better way to go to sleep than to Brahms' Lullaby, shown on the very last page as Mole goes to sleep. A wonderful book for adults and children.

Abe and Willie live across the alley from each other. Willie is black and Abe is Jewish, and during the day, they don't talk. But at night they open their windows and are best friends. Willie shows Abe how to throw a real big-league slider, and Abe gives Willie his violin to try out. Then one night, Abe's grandfather catches them—will Abe and Willie have the courage to cross the alley and reveal their friendship during the day?

Like the bestselling The Other Side, E. B. Lewis's striking, atmospheric watercolors bring to life a moving story of baseball and music, and how two young people try to bridge the divide of prejudice.

Perfect for grandparents and grandchildren.......2007-03-14

This beautiful book is perfect for grandparents to enjoy with their grandchildren. Who else could fondly recall the alleys, stoops, and apartment houses where children could lean out of bedroom windows to speak with a friend across the way? References to Sandy Koufax, Satchel Page, Jascha Heifetz, and the Negro Leagues help set the time and place. Artist E.B.Lewis' grainy, sensitive watercolor paintings make this story of breaking stereotypes, irresistible. Like the engaging narrative, the paintings leave a lot of space for the reader to imagine the details. Lewis' free brush strokes are rich and airy at the same time and the images of people are warmly represented. There's a charming, smiling grandpa wearing his yarmulke, full of hope that his grandson, Abe, will be a great violinist. Grandpa's other expectation is that Willy, the African-American boy from across the alley will be a future baseball player in the Negro Leagues. Grandpa turns out to be very wrong, and as stereotypes are broken, he accepts reality with grace.
The paintings romanticize the tree lined blocks of Brooklyn brownstones fifty summers ago, when kids played stickball in the street, and neighbors like Willy and Abe could walk to Temple, or to the corner lot to play baseball. This book is a gem, highly recommended for secular and Jewish schools and all public libraries. It is an excellent example of both an intergenerational and a multi-cultural picture book at its best.
For ages 6-10, and a grandparent.

A white kid and a black kid become best of friends and playmates........2007-02-12

The book is well-written and the illustrations (watercolor images) are good, too. The text works well with the images, but I couldn't really follow the story by just looking at the pictures. There are 17 scenes in this book, some of which are two pages wide.

The story is about a white kid and a black kid that live across an alley from each other. One kid has a grandfather who is skilled with a violin and the other kid has a father who is good with a baseball. Each kid teaches the other to excel in the skill their relative has taught them. In the beginning of the story the boys have to be friends in secret because the neighborhood did not believe in the mixing of races. But by the end of the story the boys are able to be best of friends so all could see. What a nice ending!

I think some kids will like this book a lot. But I think some kids will misunderstand it. I'm curious why the author makes it an issue that the white kid was Jewish. He never mentioned the black kid's faith. Were the kids supposed to stay apart because they had different religions or because their skin color was different? I would have liked the book better if it had left religion out of the story. 4 stars!

A 2007 Association of Jewish Libraries Notable Book for Younger Readers.......2007-01-28

Abe is a Jewish boy whose grandfather wants him to play the violin like Jascha Heifetz. Willie is an African-American boy whose father wants him to play baseball like Satchel Paige. The boys enjoy a secret friendship at night across the alleyway between their bedroom windows but it turns out that they are both more successful when they switch hobbies. When their secret is discovered, it is Willie who performs in the recital at the synagogue and Abe who takes the pitching mound at the baseball game. This lovely story of friendship in post-World War II Brooklyn, New York is complemented by the beautiful illustrations by Caldecott and Coretta Scott King award winner, E.B. Lewis.

This gorgeous book, so dense in description and evocation of another land in another time, is nearly perfect. It describes the richness and mystical turbulence of creole life in bygone colonial days under French rule. Years later, a narrator listens to the tales of a woman who, while young, spent six explosive years on the island of Saint-Jacques. She is wistful and intense and full of memory for detail.

Inaccuracy of The Violins of Saint-Jacques.......2005-04-24

I am taking a volcanology class in my university and I had to develop a research paper determining the accuracy of this novel to the eruption of Mount Pelee in 1902 (the eruption which the book portrays). Though the story may be interesting to a certain degree, the accuracy in relation to historical events is way off. I also found the book to be a little drawn out at certain parts, but overall an quick and capturing read.

Perfect "Book Vacation".......2000-05-09

Patrick Leigh Fermor is better known for his Travel Non-Fiction works, all of which are wonderful, but this book is one of the few I know that I would describe as perfect. It is the kind of fiction that magically transports you to another place and time. The delicacy and evocative power of Fermor's narrative voice is perfect for a story that occupies (like Dunsany's Elfland)the gray and luminous region between the world we know and folk tale... Rarely are flashback stories emotionally satisfying, but this device makes the loss of St Jacques all the more poignant. The character of the Governess is one of my favorite "book-people". If you can find a copy of this little book, snap it up!

Book Description

Tales of magic and wonder can be found in every phase of Jewish literature, from the sacred to the secular. The fairy tale in particular--set in enchanted lands and populated with a variety of human and supernatural beings, both good and evil--holds a very special place in the Jewish tradition. For in the fairy tale, where good and evil engage in a timeless struggle, we have a clear reflection of the Jewish world view, where faith in God can defeat the evil impulse. In Elijah's Violin, Howard Schwartz offers a sumptuous collection of thirty-six Jewish fairy tales from virtually every corner of the world. At once otherworldy and earthy, pious and playful, these celebrated tales from Morocco and India, Spain and Eastern Europe, Babylon and Egypt, illustrate not only their Jewish character but also their universality of themes. Invoking the biblical tale of David and Goliath, we read as King David defeats the giant by hovering above its spear in King David and the Giant. In the romantic tale of The Princess in the Tower, a variant of Rapunzel, we watch as the cautious King Solomon recognizes the vanity in trying to prevent Providence from taking place. And we see the religious nature of the quest for Elijah's violin in the title story. The successful completion of the king's quest enables the violin's imprisoned melodies, emblematic of the Jewish spirit, to be set free. Throughout this richly illustrated collection, one can find the quests and riddles of the traditional fairy tale along with the divine intervention that characterizes the Jewish fairy tale. Skillfully translated, these stories will captivate children and adults alike in which romance and magic become enchantingly entwined with faith, duty, and wisdom.

Customer Reviews:

A rare treat.......2001-02-27

Howard Schwartz's Elijah's Violin will appeal to both those who love fairy tales and those who love Jewish folklore. The stories have elements of more familiar fairy tales - birds that speak, mute princesses, magic mirrors, love, fear, good, and evil. However, Jewish elements make the stories distinctive. King Solomon appears in several of the tales, as does Asmodeus, King of the Demons in Jewish folklore. Schwartz's retellings are deft and lyrical and Heller's art complements the stories beautifully. If you're looking to be transported to a palace made of water or wish to go on a journey with a pirate princess, look no farther than Elijah's Violin.

This is a great book!.......1998-12-17

I have read Elijah's Violin numerous times and think it is a wonderful ride through fairy tales and fantasy. Children will love this book, I have been reading it since the age of 7, and am still enjoying it to this day. I suppose I have a slight bias since the author is my father, but I still think it's a great book!
