Children’s Book of Music

What is music? Where does it come from, and why does it affect us so powerfully? How did the instruments we know come to be? DK’s Children’s Book of Music answers all of these questions in the clear, visual, engaging format that makes DK’s children’s educational books the gold standard of the genre.

Spanning the complete history of music from prehistoric instruments through the great composers of Western art music and the popular music of the twentieth century, the book gives young readers a genuine foundation in musical literacy — the vocabulary, the history, and the listening skills to engage with music as an active rather than a passive experience.

The ideal educational gift for any music-loving child — beautifully produced, thoroughly informative, and written with the enthusiasm that makes DK’s children’s books genuinely pleasurable to read. Published by DK.
