I stumbled on this book in the early reader section of our library a few weeks ago. It's a rhyming story of a class of children coming together to a violin class - and tells each step, from opening to closing their cases. WonderGirl loved it - as it was an easy read as well as fun. The only downside is - look at that picture - every picture is of the violin held exactly opposite of how it should be! The upside is WG pointed it out herself and we had a lovely discussion of how it is supposed to be held. Win-win! The book says it's a Level 3, 7-8 year old level, but a new reader shouldn't have a problem with it. Find it here on Amazon or check it out at your local library. Happy reading!

This is a great one to know about! I sometimes read Karla Kuskin's The Orchestra Gets Dressed with my little ones. Less about violin and more silliness ("complicated underwear" always gets a laugh), but it has pictures of various orchestral instruments and we play the sounds of those instruments as we read.
I love the Philharmonic Gets Dressed! But for maturity's sake, it's great to have a book that doesn't have a bra in it :)
Is there a book for left handed players? Not that I am likely to take up an instrument but I am VERY left handed and even just holding the violin the correct way hurts my head.
