Book Description
"You'll be playing music in no time with Caillou! This all-in-one keyboard and music book is the perfect introduction to reading and playing music--it even sounds like a real piano. Children learn their first notes by following the simple diagram: Each note is represented with a color that can be found on the corresponding key. Straightforward instructions with illustrations and a touch keyboard make it easy for even very young children to learn and practice some of their favorite songs, including Old MacDonald Had a Farm, the Alphabet Song and Caillou's own theme!"
