Mr. Jones
is having trouble
motivating his fifth
grade band students to
practice. When he
discovers a packet of
magical musical plant
seeds in an old trombone
case, he gets an idea.
Mr. Jones plants the
seeds in pots of soil and
gives one to each of his
students to take home. He
tells the students how to
care for the seeds and to
play their instrumetns
every day to make the
plants grow. Some of his
students laugh at his
crazy idea, but some of
his students take him
seriously. The students
soon discover what
happens when they
practice and when they
don't. The whimsical
illustrations by
acclaimed illustrator
Susan Oliver add to the
charm of this delightful
story. The book includes
a CD of ten easy original
songs with recorded
examples of each band
instrument.
