This book has a lot of creative ideas. It lists the resources, but generally leaves the reader to figure out the finer details of assembly. If you are the type of person that needs a detailed procedure, this is not the book for you.

From tambourines to trumpets, walnut castanets to homemade drums, there's a wealth of music in the most ordinary 'instrument', and a quirky gathering of sounds from 'found objects' are the focus of Making Music. Two-color art accompanies step-by-step directions on finding and making instruments from everyday objects. Though full color would have added attraction, kids will still find the simple drawings and directions fun and inviting.
