The Remarkable Farkle McBride

The remarkable Farkle McBride is a musical prodigy. Yet no matter how hard he strives he just isn't satisfied with the sound of any of the instruments playing alone - until he comes to the aid of the orchestra's conductor and discovers his true calling. John Lithgow introduces the workings of the orchestra and the pleasures of music in a jaunty, rhythmic text that begs to be read aloud.
