This month I wanted to fill you in on a new children’s book that hit the shelves recently which was written by my friend and colleague Thomas Amoriello Jr. The book is entitled “A Journey to Guitarland with Maestro Armadillo" and is a wonderful introduction to the guitar for youngsters, especially those who like music.
Inside the book readers are transported to a wondrous place called Guitarland where everything from homes to cars can be shaped like guitars! Their tour guide of Guitarland is Maestro Armadillo - a flying V toting, rock ‘n’roll t-shirt wearing armadillo. The book is not only entertaining, but educational as children learn about the parts of the guitar and how the it works. It is also beautifully illustrated with water color artwork by street artist James J. Kelewae.
Finally, the book has a “who’s who” of the guitar world lending their name to endorse the book – Brian May, Jennifer Batten, Steve Hackett and Michael “Kidd Funkadelic” Hampton. If you’re looking for a children’s book to get your little ones into the guitar or even read to young students pick up a copy of "A Journey to Guitarland with Maestro Armadillo!"
