Simon Makes Music

Simon wants to share his love of music with the animals. He tries to get them to play along with his flute, trumpet, cowbells, guitar, harp, violin, drums, and xylophone, but find the animals uninterested. When an old accordionist tells Simon that animals listen to music all their own, Simon invites his friends to form an orchestra…with surprising results.
