Synopsis
First there's a trombone playing "with mournful moan and silken tone." It's joined by nine more instruments, each of whose character is poetically described, until a chamber orchestra is assembled. The pictures in this book seem to flow with the instruments they're describing, and even the dog, two cats and mouse who frolic through these pages are entranced by the music. Selected by the New York Times Book Review as one of the Best Illustrated Children's Books of 1995., Ten instruments take their parts one by one in a musical performance.

Industry Reviews
"Neatly done, with flair and joy and a fine ending, 'Zin! Zin! Zin! A Violin' is a book from which music issues forth as clearly as from any music box."
New York Times Book Review - Cynthia Zarin (11/05/1995)
