Pritchett, Dylan. The First Music. Illustrated by Erin Bennett Banks. August House Publishers Inc.: 2007. ISBN: 9780874837766.
The First Music is about all kinds of different African forest animals who make sounds into music. All of the animals make sounds except the frogs. The frogs sit and watch all of the animals dance and sing for seven days. The first day a new sound came and Monkey went to find out who made the noise. Monkey began playing along with the noisemaker and soon everyone began singing and dancing except for the frogs. The readers will have to read the book to see what the frogs decide to do.
I thought that The First Music was very entertaining and very believable because of the true animal sounds that some animals do. Erin Bennett Banks did a wonderful job on the illustrations and pictures in the book. Dylan Prtichett was very good at describing what the animals did in all the singing and dancing. I recommend this book for 3rd through 6th graders who are interested in music.
