Wild Symphony

Well, I never imagined a picture-children’s book from Dan Brown. But what an amazing surprise. The book is delightful. And for kids and adults alike. The book begins with a mouse, the music conductor, introducing us to the book. Rhythmic verse are dedicated to different animals. A beautiful take-away from each animal for each of us , might make sense only to adults and older kids. Interspersed with clues to look for - alphabets and instruments, the book is a treasure hunt for the kid and adults alike. The illustrations are beautiful and funny. And the best part about the book- the music. It’s just so splendid and mesmerising. Short enough to hold the attention of a child and get the kid to wonder about the instruments used..though the app itself - I don’t find it too useful- the point to the image and the accompanying music plays feature just didn’t work on my phone. I’ve been playing the music from prime.My almost 5 year old is hooked. The music is on a loop for the 3rd day in a row. We particularly love the elephant symphony.That said, the book and the music will appeal to kids, especially 3+.

lovely collection of animal poems teaching kids about accepting oneself and others.. A great guide for kids

Beautifully illustratedGreat book!It’s a prized possession

Dan Brown’s offering is one that introduces young minds to the wonders of classical music, while providing them with a fun-tale in rhyme that alludes to timeless virtues! Wild Symphony is a modern musical fable that will go on to be timeless. Dan Brown’s “Wild Symphony” (Penguin Publishers) is a children’s book that pairs with a classical music album and an augmented reality app, even as it tells a delightful tale in rhyme. Illustrated by Susan Batori, the picture book for children is clearly a timeless book that will enchant young minds.

Known for his prowess as an author whose words can send a chill down your spine, Dan Brown’s endeavour to come up with a children’s book is praiseworthy. Carefully thought and organized, Wild Symphony is all about music and harmony. Blending a thousand musical notes together, Brown manages to add rhyme and juxtapose two ideas together is such an easy manner.This book comes along with a code that can give access to the listening experience as well. From what I could make out, Brown emphasizes on co-existing and producing music that is mellifluous. Using different animals as the props, he illustrates how beautiful each one of us is. All we need to do is listen patiently and acknowledge the talents of others. Then, even the minutest thing can be seen having a conversation with nature. The strength lies in unity and the beauty of the world can be experienced with even the wild becomes a part of our being.Wild Symphony seems like an easy composition but the music adds weightage to its overall impact. The poems are quite simple and the illustrations will just blow your mind. This book is well suited for reading to your children at bedtime. Go for it!Best wishes to the author!

I can wait to read this to my kids (students)

Awesome product. The board book is great

Favourite book right now. Great story and wonderful illustrations. Music matched perfectly. Great to have a phone app to accompany orchestra. Have bought 3 as gifts. Age range 2-7 but could be older

I have a 2 year old that loves the book, she’s still too young for the text but she loves the pictures, the mouse inviting the animals to the orchestra and the music from the app. She knows all the instruments now!Last page might get destroyed soon!

I love all of Dan Brown’s books and so had to buy this for my daughter. It is delightful, just lovely. Beautifully written, clever, witty, and entertaining. My daughter loves this book so much. I enjoyed reading it to her whilst playing the music on the accompanying app. Really special and magical.

Is a good book for children not over 5 years. Quite a few issues to use the App to play the music.

Daughter and I love this. Great pictures to look at and discuss and atmospheric music to listen to.
