Little Rat Makes Music

Little Rat Makes Music by Monika Bang-Campbell

With just 8 chapters to this book Little Rat makes a definite mark on any young readers life. This early reader breaks down the story and makes it a great first chapter book for students in first through third grade. This particular book is about how Little Rat wants to play an instrument because she comes from a very musical family. There seems to be one little problem though, she isn't really interested in practicing because she finds it boring. With the help of a few people she soon finds out that anything might be possible. I found this to be a great book because of the age it is directed towards, and the lesson it teaches. With music and sports and practicing becoming what children do it can become easy to let it fall to the wayside but with this great easy reader, children can see how important these practicing, accomplishing and achieving goals can be.
