People can sing high and low notes, and with great emotion. Our new six-book series, Instruments Around the World, introduces children to geography and world cultures through musical instruments. Each title is richly illustrated with large photographs and maps. Voices also includes an activity to help children explore their voice range. Voices is a reading journey that inspires and stimulates learning exploration. Book jacket.
