Who wants to practice the piano? Certainly not Lulu. She'd rather listen
to her swing squeak, the bell on her bike ring, or the apples thump as
she climbs a tree. Even her shoes play a tip-tap tune as she runs on the
sidewalk.
Before she knows it, it's Friday afternoon and time for her piano
lesson. Lulu's heart sinks. She hasn't practiced all week. Luckily,
Lulu's teacher knows how to inspire his small student. A musician
herself, Arlene Alda played the clarinet in the Houston Symphony. She
understands how one little girl's imagination and a wise teacher can
help us all discover the music around us and the fun of expressing that
music on the piano. Perfectly complemented by Lisa Desimini's delightful
cut-paper collage and digital illustrations, Lulu's Piano Lesson is
truly a memorable one.
