One part that struck me as interesting was the use of metaphor when describing the first performance of the piece. The text and the pictures both make it seems like something magical happened during the performance. "One by one the skeletons rose from their graves. Bone against bone, they rattled and danced." The illustrations only show the orchestra as a background image. In the foreground, we see a skeleton holding a fiddle. This part of the book describes the story the music tells, but an inexperienced reader could think the book just veered into fiction. I think this creates a good teachable moment about the use of metaphor in non-fiction. Common Core, baby!
