학교의 밴드 지도교사인 Mr. V는 새로운 밴드에 참여할 아이들에게 각각의 재능과 적성에 맞는 8개의 악기들을 소개합니다.

시드는 클라리넷을 연주합니다. 목관악기인 클라리넷은 "리드"라고 불리우는 부분을 불어서 진동을 일으켜 소리를 내는데, 세게 불면 리드의 진동수가 높아지고 큰 소리를 낼 수 있습니다.

클라리넷 연주를 듣는 것은 마치 진한 초콜렛 케익을 먹는 것 같이 묵직하면서도 달콤함을 동시에 느낄 수 있습니다.

이런 식으로 Mr. V 선생님은 클라리넷, 오보에, 트럼펫, 플루트, 색소폰, 트롬본, 튜바, 드럼 등 총 8개의 악기들을 차례대로 소개하면서, 악기의 연혁, 소리가 나는 원리, 악기의 구조와 특성, 소리의 느낌, 연주하는 방법 등을 자세히 설명해 줍니다.

그리고 구석구석에 재미있는 유머들도 심어 놓았는데, 예를 들면, 클라리엣을 소개하면서 "너무 세게 불면 끼익끼익 소리가 나기 때문에 생쥐가 너를 사랑하게 될 것"이라고 하네요.

그리고 각각의 악기들을 소개할 때마다 에너지가 넘치는 드럼 연주자 펠리시티가 자기 차례까지 참지 못하고 큰 북을 쳐서 선생님을 방해하는데, 나중에 어떤 악기를 소개할 때는 이 악기 소리가 더 크게 들려서 북소리를 묻어 버리네요. 이 악기는 무엇일까요?

이 책의 일러스트레이터인 리안 조의 밝고 눈이 확 띄는 그림들은 악기의 연주소리가 실제로 들리는 듯한 기분을 느낄 수 있을만큼 생동감이 넘칩니다.

그리고 8개의 악기들을 연주하는 아이들의 이름은 실제로 저명한 8명의 연주자 이름에서 따 왔는데, 이 8명의 연주자에 대한 간략한 소개가 책 말미에 부록으로 포함되어 있습니다.

What is 하드커버? 양장본이라고도 불리우며, 표지가 단단한 판지로 만들어진 책입니다. 판지를 천이나 가죽으로 감싸기도 합니다. 책의 속지는 일반적으로 중성처리된 종이(Acid-free paper)를 사용해서 잘 변질이 되지 않기 때문에 오랫동안 보관하기에 적합합니다. 이 종류의 책은 더스트 재킷, 또는 더스트 커버로 불리는 표지덮개가 함께 있는 경우가 많습니다. 간혹 내부 속지가 콩기름 코팅이 된 경우 고약한 냄새가 나는 책도 있습니다.

하드커버책입니다.

Book Description
No matter where you are, you can find the perfect instrument and join this band! A winning pick for young readers who adore books by Jory John, Mac Barnett, and Christian Robinson.
The band director knows everything about all the instruments, and he can’t wait to help find the perfect one for you. But an irrepressible young girl keeps interrupting with enthusiastic BOOM BOOM BOOMS on her drum. At least until the band director introduces one instrument that’s even louder.
This laugh-out-loud picture book from National Book Award–longlisted author Colleen AF Venable is packed with boundless energy and giggle-worthy jokes--as well as information about eight instruments commonly played in school bands. Illustrator Lian Cho’s exuberant artwork matches the text note for note and practically leaps off the page.
This joyous picture book will leave young readers eager to pick up an instrument and learn how to play! The Oboe Goes Boom Boom Boom celebrates music and will entertain young readers in the home and classroom alike.
Each child in the band is inspired by a real-life musician, and biographies are included at the end of the book.


School Library Journal *Starred Review*
It can be hard to use words and images to convey the sound an instrument makes, but this picture book pulls it off with aplomb. A harried but enthusiastic band director, Mr. V, who is white, introduces readers to a variety of instruments, including the clarinet, oboe, trumpet, flute, saxophone, trombone, tuba, and drums. Mr. V describes not only what kind of sound the instruments make, but also how that sound is created. Illustrations that are equal parts comical and deeply informative depict reeds with smiling faces, percussion instruments with feet, and swirling, twirling grinning music notes. Each instrument is demonstrated by one member of a multiracial array of students, and every student is named and illustrated after a notable musician (brief biographies are provided in the back matter of the book). Venable's text is interwoven with threads of humor, charm, and creativity. Of particular note is her description of the instruments' unique sounds: "Listening to a clarinet is like eating rich chocolate cake, bold and sweet at the same time," and a saxophone "sounds the way a satin ribbon feels between your fingers." Cho's bright, eye-popping illustrations create a happy chaos on the page, and one can almost imagine the cacophony of a room full of children practicing their instruments. VERDICT An altogether delightful introduction to musical instruments. Recommended for all collections.




Publisher's Weekly
“Each time jolly-looking band director Mr. V. . . . gives a student the opportunity to play their instrument of choice, he’s interrupted by little Felicity, who has already discovered her love of whaling on an enormous drum. . . . Frisky typography and balloons of musical notation float through the air, and visual nudges and jokes elevate the story . . . The afterword includes short, inclusive bios of diverse real-life classical, rock, and jazz musicians upon whom the book’s characters are based.”


Kirkus Reviews
“As a band director instructs the new band members on the different instruments they can play, he must also contend with a very enthusiastic drummer. . . . There is an irrepressible feeling of energy in the illustrations . . . further emphasized by playful and colorful typography. . . . A lively introduction to some musical instruments.”


Horn Book Magazine
“Band director Mr. V introduces a diverse class of students to seven instruments. Mr. V places each in its musical family, sometimes offering a little history, and briefly describes how it works, how to play, and how it sounds. . . . The lighthearted narrative and lively cartoon illustrations balance humor and information nicely. Back matter provides some biographical information about seven professional musicians (who make cameos as the students).”
