Zin! Zin! Zin! a Violin
Picture book · ages 4–8 · 560L
A perfect marriage of onomatopoeia, rhyme, and instrument pedagogy—kids giggle at the sounds while actually learning orchestration, and Priceman's watercolors make each instrument a visual personality.
Hot Air: The (Mostly) True Story of the First Hot-Air Balloon Ride
Picture book · ages 5–8 · 620L · 2014
A raucous, beautifully illustrated romp through real history that teaches invention-via-chaos; Priceman's watercolors feel like they're launched off the page.
