A murder has been committed in the symphony hall, and the culprit is lurking in the orchestra. A "Peter and the Wolf" for the 21st century, this book comes with a CD featuring narration by Lemony Snicket and original music performed by the San Francisco Symphony. Full color.
From the Publisher:
When a murder takes place, everyone comes under suspicion and soon the Inspector is interrogating everyone, including the violins, the French horn, and every other instrument in order to solve the crime and put the culprit away!An inspector seeks to solve a murder mystery at the symphony by questioning each of the musical instruments.
Annotation:
Lemony Snicket and Nathanial Stookey's avant-garde orchestral work meant for children is transformed into a clever picture book accompanied by Carson Ellis's genius illustrations. The composer is dead, and the Inspector interviews all the instruments, in search of the rapscallion responsible. The Flutes will only admit to doing bird imitations, the Violas feel neglected, and the Cellos and Basses are above it all. Who could be capable of such a heinous crime? With CD.
