Review of The Trouble in Tune Town
Meg is a Tune Town’s best performer. But she’s having trouble with rehearsing!
The flute sounds unbearable.
The piano notes disappear.
And the tuba notes vanish, searching for somewhere to belong.
In fact, all the music notes had run off their sheets.
Can Meg find the notes in time for your BIG concert?
Or will the whole performance be a BIG disaster?
The Trouble in Tune Town celebrates the fun and joy of music, told through imaginative fantasy and rhyme. It encourages children to relax, try their best and find joy in all that they do.
Sophie Norsa’s lively and colourful illustrations add to the charm of the story.
