来自世界各地的mewsicians正在排练奥波德•冯•Kittenkat的orcatstra,但他的接力棒去哪了?
逐页的四行诗，Meowstro查看他的每个乐器,但当指挥棒不见了,多才多艺的指挥想到了另一种指挥方式。作者与插画家的迪斯尼工作背景在这个简短但有趣的故事中展现的很明显,这是他们的第一本图画书。但Fantasia从未像这样过。在Lanzisero异想天开的插图,演员,所有的猫,都有名字和反应民族特色的服饰:拉小提琴的瑞士小姐Gabriele身着带花边的紧身连衣裙。 印度pungi演奏者泰姬围着一个锡克教的头巾，瑞典长号手斯文戴着维京人的头盔。这个管弦乐团的乐器也十分令人惊讶。除了传统的小提琴,双簧管、长号和竖琴,还包括风笛,taiko鼓，迪吉里杜管和六角手风琴。所有提到的乐器,以及其他音乐用词,如艺术大师和oompah-pah等,定义在画册结尾的词汇表中。这本诗篇包括双关语和押韵的诗句,能使读者不禁微笑,但是他的节奏是不规则的,也能使读者不禁想大声读出来。傻傻的但很有趣,而且信息量也很小。(图画书。5 - 8)

这是一个有关大音乐家的简短的故事,他负责一个猫乐团,而且在故事中他找不到他的指挥棒了。在他的寻找的过程中,他遇到管弦乐队的不同成员，并询问他们是否看到指挥棒。指挥棒没找到，但他巧妙的解决了这个问题，用他的尾巴代替指挥棒。这个故事之所以那样吸引人的一个原因是它对合奏中各种乐器的介绍。术语表提供了、图片和每种乐器的定义。这个故事是押韵的,它描写了一个生动的故事, Hennesy将猫的发音用语言描绘出来。图片丰富多彩和有趣,也提高了对文本的理解。玛丽莲Teicher,图书馆媒体专家,年代P.S 86x,纽约布朗克斯区
