Moby Plays the Flute keeps getting top ratings! Check out what people are saying:

 “As a teacher, I am always looking for engaging books to read to my students. It is great if it is a book that I can tie in with a lesson. This is especially true if it is a book that models social-emotional skills, such as empathy, kindness, or perseverance. The more books I can show my students about these skills, the happier I am. This book is the perfect book to teach about a growth mindset, perseverance, or resilience. It also would be a good book to introduce Passion Projects if your class does them.”

“This book focuses on persistence and patience. It’s a great book for youngsters of all ages, young and old alike!! It’s a great book to show that being persistent and having confidence can change your outlook on everything!”

“Moby Plays the Flute is such a cute and sweet children’s story with the most delightful illustrations which give the story a bit of a whimsical feel.”

“I was drawn to this book as a music teacher – I love stories about music. This doesn’t disappoint, and I think it would be a great book to read with a child who is starting to learn an instrument to help them to prepare for the patience and perseverance they will need and get excited about learning and playing their instrument!”
