This is a really fun poetry book about a man looking for a didgeridoo in a music shop, I think this is a great introduction to different types of instruments as well as to poetry. And the storyline and use of the word digeridoo makes it interesting for young readers.

This is not very good. The art is nice, but the writing sucks. The entire book is a poem, which I find clever, and every line ends with a rhyme of didgeridoo, which is also clever, albeit forced. The problem comes with the story, it gets tedious and annoying and the ending is ridiculous. All about a man who goes to a music shop and wants to buy a didgeridoo, the owner says no, and the man keeps asking him. Finally the owner says yes and the man changes his mind. Silly. ( )

Teaches rhyme and vocabulary. ( )

This book is rhythmic reading. A man goes to a music store in search of a didgeridoo, “One that blows a low wa-hoo”. The response from the Music Man is always the same, “No. We didgeridon’t.” The colors are bright and the illustrations are fantastic! This book is great! I love the rhythmic words and the repetition. My seven year old daughter loves this book and asks for it again and again. She also joins in with the repetition phrases. The classroom extension would be exploration of a new word, didgeridoo. Also, you can capture the students’ attention and draw them into the story with the repetitive phrases throughout the book. ( )
