The Orchestra Pit is a quick read that highlights the misadventure of a snake who ends up in an orchestra pit. With minimal text on each page, there is plenty of room for further imaginative discussion along the way. Childlike illustrations by author Johanna Wright perfectly fit the tone of the story. The book serves as a brief, but fun introduction to the instruments of an orchestra and their families. Readers will also enjoy considering how each instrument could represent specific animal sounds. A creative and clever little read!
