Thought it would be fun to go from the chunkster to the shortest book on my TBR. The Story of the Saxophone. Excellent story and illustrations, about the inventor of the saxophone, Adolphe Sax.

pickFantastic! Even as a music teacher, I didn‘t know all those things about Adolphe Sax, the inventor of the saxophone. I think they should have put an illustration of Adolphe Sax on the cover, though, not Sidney Bechet, since the book was all about the inventor. Super cool that the inside covers of the book have illustrations of famous saxophonists!
pickGreat children‘s book about inventions!
