The latest in the Did You Know? series is Frogs Play Cellos, and it’s all about music and instruments.
In keeping with the rest of the series, this book has its quirky characters (frogs, cats, rabbits, pigs and many others) to accompany you as you dip in and out of musical trivia. First things first, though, frogs do play cellos, but not the way you might imagine. Apparently “every bow has what is called a ‘frog’ … the part of the bow you hold when you play a string instrument.”
In Frogs Play Cellos, you’ll learn other fun facts about the parts and origins of certain instruments and types of music, as well as cultural influences and musicians. This series of books isn’t necessarily the kind to use for a school project, but it is likely to pique the interest of curious kids and keep them entertained.
