"I See a Song" by Eric Carle is a children's book about an old violin player who tells his readers that he essentially is a synesthetic - someone who can see music and hear sights. Nonetheless, he tells his readers to imagine their own music based on the artwork provided. I think this book is probably the most unique out of any of the other books I chose to do an annotation on. This is because it sounds like it is a "music-themed" book, but it is really a collection of art sketches Eric Carle made for the audience's imagination to take the reigns over. I think it can actually be a valid music book because it helps establish the relationship between art and music and gets the students to do "left brain, right brained" activity.
