Summoning the Phoenix: Poems and Prose about Chinese Musical Instruments by Emily Jiang
5.0
A book about Chinese musical instruments, with poems for each from the point of view of the child playing them.
I got this for my niece, who is 9 months old, and at first thought I might need to hang on to it for a few years. Each instrument also has a sidebar on its background and sometimes a legend about it that's definitely for older kids. But the illustrations are AMAZING, and you could easily read just the poems to a younger child and have it feel like a complete book.
