Middle C

About the Book

A rhythmical, whimsical story for toddlers about the note Middle C, a pirate, who happens to be the musical note which travels between the Islands of Treble Caye and Bass Caye, in his pirate ship, looking for buried treasure. He interacts with human and note children as he spreads his love of music to all. The story shows the importance of math in relation to music in a way a toddler should begin to make the connection. The second half of the book is a coloring book and gives the child a chance to seek and find musical symbols or musical instruments hidden in the illustrations.
