Floor 9, Please!

Ages 3–8Picture bookAbout 7 min5 music moments

Tallulah the giraffe is moving to the 9th floor. The problem? The elevator is tiny, and at every floor somebody new squeezes in: a hiccuping hippo, a penguin family, an octopus, a very nervous skunk... and one mouse who is just a little too much.

Sneak peek: the first page

9 Treetop Ln9MOVERS

Tallulah the giraffe was moving.

Her new apartment was at 9 Treetop Lane, on the 9th floor, with a view of the whole city.

"Perfect!" said Tallulah, stretching her neck up high.

There was just one teeny problem:
how does a giraffe get to the 9th floor?

How the music works

Every few pages, the story pauses for a music moment that fits the scene: a lullaby, a chase, a spooky tune, a victory march. Your child plays a short piece on their own instrument (piano or keyboard, guitar, ukulele, recorder, harmonica, tongue drum, drums or darbuka) at exactly their level, rates how it went, and the next pieces adjust. Floor 9, Please! has 5 music moments across 12 pages.
