Moby Plays the Flute is a gorgeous picture book. I love the illustration style, with loads of fun details meaning you can spend ages totally absorbed in exploring the pictures. The story is positive and will speak to children and adults alike.

I was drawn to this book as a music teacher – I love stories about music. This doesn’t disappoint, and I think it would be a great book to read with a child who is starting to learn an instrument to help them to prepare for the patience and perseverance they will need, and get excited about learning and playing their instrument!

This is also a good book to read with a child when a parent has to go away for a long time. Moby misses her dad, and he misses her but he’s still there for her even when he’s far away.

This book gets five stars from me! A wonderfully enjoyable book to read, and a good way to explore the importance of persevering when learning something new!

This is a cute story with several important lessons embedded in it. The illustrations are absolutely beautiful. The cherry blossoms are always a favorite of mine. I wish this story was a tiny bit longer and answered some of the lingering questions (this the reason for the 4 star rating), but overall it was a good story. I would say first through third grade readers would enjoy this the most.

First, let me say that I purchased this book for a teacher friend of mine to add to her classroom book library. It is about a girl with a flute and that reminded me of myself because I also learned to play the flute as a young girl. And just as I was taught that hard work pays off with practice and learning, so does Moby. This is a perfect book to teach kids about not giving up no matter how hard you may want to. The book’s filled with beautiful illustrations and help bring the story to life. Not only does this teach kids to keep practicing, but to keep learning and growing as well. I highly recommend this book for kids and for adults to read to their kids.

This is the wonderful, heartwarming tale of a father and daughter who learn that even though life may be difficult and not always what you want, persistence and patience always pay off in the end. Moby is disheartened when her dad, a Marine, is called away on duty and won’t be back for her birthday. He gives her an early birthday present before he leaves, a bamboo flute. Moby struggles to learn how to play and is quickly discouraged. But she perseveres and soon learns that with practice and patience, she can do anything she puts her mind to. I love the life lessons Eeha Bhatt incorporates into their story. While this story is obviously geared towards small children, I’ve often used picture books with my high school students and this will be one I will definitely incorporate. I love the story and the illustrations are amazing. I’ve also read this story to my 6-year old and she loved the story and the pictures.

Moby Plays the Flute
By: Eeha Bhatt
5*

As a teacher, I am always looking for engaging books to read to my students. It is great if it is a book that I can tie in with a lesson. This is especially true if it is a book that models a social emotional skill, such as empathy, kindness or perseverance. The more books I can show my students about these skills the happier I am. This book is the perfect book to teach about a growth mindset, perseverance, or resilience. It also would be a good book to introduce Passion Projects if your class does them.
Moby’s father is in the military and he is about to be deployed. He gives her a gift before he leaves. This gift is a flute. Moby discovers that learning to play the flute will not be an easy task, rather it is something she will need to work hard at. This story is absolutely heartwarming and it has the most beautiful illustrations.
I read this book to my students in Kindergarten, First Grade and Second grade. I recommend this book for all those age ranges. However, I would not limit it to those ages. I believe that all children would enjoy this book.

This is such a heart warming and captivating book that really piqued my daughters interest. The pictures throughout the book were so well done that she engaged with them easily. The book tells a great story, both educating and entertaining its intended audience. It isn’t often you get an author that successfully does both but this author has achieved it.
This is a book I also enjoyed, mainly because it was nice to see my daughter getting joy from. We will definitely be exploring more of this authors work.

“Moby has a problem” is how we are introduced to this sweet story. Moby is a young girl who feels like everyone and everything is against her. She sits at the back of the classroom until her dad encourages her to move to the front. She does and is ridiculed for an incorrect answer. Oh how she misses the back row! Moby then learns that her daddy is being called away for a long period of time with the Marines. He leaves her birthday gift with her. She sees a beautiful flute but when she tries to play it, it won’t work. She throws it over in a pile of other “rejected” toys. She’s missing her daddy but nothing seems to work out in her favor!
It’s getting closer to another birthday and her dad is still away. He’s not sending a gift this year. She talks to him about the “broken flute” and he tells her not to give up. What happens next is a huge lesson for everyone involved.

This book focuses on persistence and patience. It’s a great book for youngsters of all ages, young and old alike!! It’s a great book to show that being persistent and having confidence can change your outlook on everything!

This children’s book is beautifully written. The brilliant illustrations really pop and exudes the author’s descriptions perfectly.

The main character, Moby is a darling young lady dealing with the struggles of being less than stellar in school and in most things she attempts to complete. We can all sympathize with the situation at some point in our lives. The overall message plays out well and I think children will enjoy reading it while also learning a lesson or two.

Any military family knows the struggle they go through when a parent is deployed. The author did a fabulous job describing this in a kid friendly way as well.

Overall, I believe this beautiful story is a great option for children that the adults will appreciate.

This was a magnificent kid’s book! I say kid’s book, but really, I mean this is just a wonderful book. The lessons that are taught are invaluable to everyone!

Moby doesn’t like saying goodbye to her father, but he is a U.S. Marine and his duty calls. He gives her an early birthday present before he leaves, and she is delighted to learn that it is a bamboo flute! Between school and this flute, she is going to learn a few lessons that will help her the rest of her life.

This is a short but awe-inspiring read. Pick this up for yourself as a cute story or share with the children in your life. My 6- and 10-year-old absolutely loved it!

Moby Plays the Flute is about a young girl who has a tough time following through. Her father, a Marine, is trying to help her learn about achieving goals and the importance of not giving up when things become to hard. On her birthday he gives her a flute, the problem for Moby lies in how she can get it to play.

Beautifully illustrated. I thought the story had some great life lesson details that we all face young and old. Entertaining story.

This is an open ended story for children. In this story Moby learns many things. The first is to not give up, the more you try the better you get. While this is a quick read for children, it could be a learning tool for parents and teachers. The author has written this wonderful story, so that it is easy for the young new readers. The illustrations were fun and eye-catching, again opening the door for questions from the young. I highly recommend this book for K – 3rd graders but not limited to those ages. I hope you enjoy this story as much as I did.

Fantastic! The story and art work are absolutely beautiful! This is a great book for parents and teachers to share with children. I think it is one of the many very important lessons a child needs to learn, believing in yourself, never giving up and have patience.

“The moment you stop believing in yourself, you give up on yourself…”

I really like that at the end of the book the author puts out ideas for adults to play and talk with their kids about the lessons from the book. I look forward to more amazing wrk from this author!

This is a wonderful story that teaches a beautiful lesson about believing in yourself. There are many children out there that need help in believing in themselves. I loved the way the story is written in a positive tone. It also includes teaching about goals, perseverance and not giving up. The author also includes helpful tips and ideas at the back to help parents. The bright pictures, fun illustrations and an easy-to-read story make this the perfect story to read with your child(ren) or to add to your child’s library. I highly recommend this book to all parents.
