The Accidental Orchestra

“What a lovely read! I smiled from the first page to the last…
a beautiful story that inspires teamwork and celebrates the unique power of music. I might just have to add a cat to my family now.”

- YolanDa Brown, Award Winning Saxophonist, Children’s TV Presenter, Author: ‘ The ABCs of Music: My First Music Book’.

“An utterly charming tale...sharing not only the joy and fun that comes from making music with others, but how much more can be achieved when you work together as a team. I can’t wait to see what the Dundercats Orchestra does next!”

- Chrissy Kinsella, CEO, London Music Fund.

“A tale of exploration, curiosity, creativity, teamwork and leadership. A wonderful addition to any young person’s bookshelf!”

- Nick Bottini , Author of ‘Just Play: The Simple Truth Behind Musical Excellence.’

“The Accidental Orchestra uses rhyme, onomatopoeia, and imagery to introduce children to instruments and the need for cooperation and order to create harmony.”

- Angela Watkins - Counsellor and Psychologist.

“Wonderful illustrations capture the excitement and enjoyment of group music making. A ‘must’ for every child’s bookshelf.”

- Valerie Weston, Teacher and Education Consultant.

“The Accidental Orchestra pulls off what many children’s books struggle to do - ‘sporty’ and ‘musical’ kids working together equally in making a group a successful whole. As an author and parent, I applaud a truly delightful book that all parents will love to read with their children, time and again!”

- Britta Butler, Author and Illustrator of ‘Santa Claus is an Architect’.

“It’s so lovely to read of so many beautifully healthy and harmonious cats. A delight for music and animal lovers alike.”

- Dr. Michael Bradley - MRCVS, Veterinary Surgeon and Bass Player.

“What a gift to find a ‘classical music book’ that shows how simple the joys of music making can be: spontaneous, better shared with friends, and above all - fun! The illustrations are engagingly detailed and supportive, letting the child reader explore the world beyond the written word. A wonderful addition for any budding musician!”

- Igor Yuzefovich - Concertmaster, BBC Symphony Orchestra.
