An appealing, accessible, and throught-provoking introduction to
a rarely covered subject.
Booklist, ALA Roth's naif collages, populated by doll-like figures,
quickly shoo away any misgivings that music history could be a
bore, and make a marvelous counterpoint for her carefully
researched prose. Publishers Weekly The language is simple and
intimate. . .wonderful colors and fibers. . .attractive. School
Library Journal A gifted author-illustrator offers a lovely picture
book...Her collage illustrations are always interesting. Buffalo
News Roth winningly narrates the ups and downs of Guido's efforts
to work out his ideas and get them accepted. But it's the

of chanting monks.
The Washington Post It's edgy and childlike at the same time, a
quirky approach to a quirky subject. The San Francisco
Chronicle
