88 Instruments by Chris Barton

"The rhythmic, onomatopoeic text dances across exuberant watercolors with lots of movement.This celebration of a child's agency in choosing a means of artistic expression strikes just the right note." --Kirkus


"A delightful offering for reading aloud, especially during music-themed storytimes."
--School Library Journal

From New York Times bestselling author Chris Barton and new illustrator Louis Thomas comes a fun, rhythmic picture book about finding the music that is perfect for you!


A boy who loves to make noise gets to pick only one instrument (at his parents urging) in a music store, but there is too much to choose from! There's triangles and sousaphones! There's guitars and harpsichords! Bagpipes and cellos and trombones! How can he find the one that is just right for him out of all those options?

Chris Barton is the author of the critically acclaimed nonfiction picture books Dazzle Ships and Whoosh! For The Day-Glo Brothers, he received a Sibert Honor, and for All of a Sudden and Forever, he received an Orbis Pictus Recommended. Chris and his family reside in Austin, Texas.
