Description
From the days she banged her rattle in the crib, Violet has been looking for friends to share her love of music.
Quick Summary
From the moment she can shake a rattle in her crib, Violet is already dreaming up melodies, and she spends the whole story searching for friends who love music as much as she does. As she tries everything from banging a drum to humming in the park, the book rolls along with a bouncy rhythm that makes it fun to read aloud, and the ending brings a cheerful surprise that shows a little persistence can turn a solo into a duet. Kids who are into music or who have ever felt like they don't quite fit in will find a kindred spirit in Violet, and parents will appreciate that there's no scary stuff, just a gentle lesson about staying true to yourself and finding your crowd. The short, 429-word length and simple sentences keep the pace quick, which makes it a great pick for early readers or a quick bedtime story. If your child liked Pete the Cat's musical adventures, they'll probably love Violet's journey too.
