The Velveteen Rabbit

The Westerville library put on a presentation of The Velveteen Rabbit. They gave each family a new copy of the book. Part of the Westerville orchestra was there to play the music that had been composed to accompany the reading of the book. This was their first ever public performance and we just happened to sit by the composer in the back. It was interesting to watch as he followed along in his book of music. He seemed to anticipate each note the orchestra played as if each note were one of his kids performing. The narrator was very animated and the kids enjoyed the performance. Afterwards they got to meet the orchestra and try out some of the instruments.
