What is Music is one title from this series and it covers a wide range of music related topics. It is aimed at a young child aged 5+. The only thing missing is a sound file so readers can hear some of the musical styles and instruments:
- So, what makes a piece of music?
- When did music start?
- Are there different types of music?
- What are musical instruments?
- Is music the same all around the world?
- What is a composter?
- How can music help people?
- Have computers changed the world of music?
- What is an orchestra?
- What is a choir?
- What is a song?
- What can you do with music?

I borrowed this book from a school library and then discovered it is part of a series. These cost just over AUS$20 each so it might be worth considering adding a few to your library nonfiction shelves.
About Noodle Juice (from Oxfordshire UK): Noodle Juice books are irreverent, energetic, visually exciting, fact-packed, laugh-out-loud eyeball magnets. We like to think that we amaze, amuse and surprise. We believe that children today want to see books that compete head to head with the media they consume on screens and devices. The strength of words is undisputed, but we want to ensure that the mechanic with which they are delivered is equally powerful. Noodle Juice demonstrates that we are firm believers in the importance of silliness in children’s publishing and that a fun book to read is a fun book to make. We aim to be disruptive and challenge conventions with titles that help little people answer big questions in an increasingly confusing world.
