Nina Chamberlin: Spring Goes Squish! By Marty Kelley
This book follows a child as she experiences the season of
spring. She describes her experiences through onomatopoeia. This is a very
interesting way to look at music, because music is not simply pitches and lyrics.
Music can be made by anything, including the effects of spring on the earth and
human experiences. The children can read this book and ponder how the main
character’s experiences are similar what they would call music, and how it is
different. A class could even put together the onomatopoeia words and make them
into a song, further proving the point
that music can come from anywhere.
