Product Description
Moses and his school friends are deaf, but like most children, they have a lot to say. They communicate in American Sigh Language, using visual signs and facial expressions. This is called signing. And even though they can't hear, they can enjoy many activities through their other senses. Today, Moses and his classmates are going to a concert. Their teacher, Mr. Samuels, has two surprises in store for them, to make this particular concert a special event.
Isaac Millman tells Moses's story in pictures and written English, and in American Sign Language (ASL), introducing hearing children to the signs for some of the key words and ideas. At the end of the book are two full conversations in sign language and a page showing the hand alphabet.
You can learn sign language, too.

 Deaf Ed. Terp book review March 21, 2007

Very focused on the deaf children's community in a positive and appropriate light. Useful for Deaf classrooms or for hearing classrooms that are learning about their d/Deaf peers.
Can't resist telling about Moses on another Field trip . . . October 3, 2006
Actually, "MOSES GOES TO A CONCERT" is the FIRST book in what grew into a series. Isaac Millman has written these most appealing books to provide deaf children with stories they can relate to ONE HUNDRED PER CENT. The books also introduce the 'hearing world' to signing in a simplified cartoonish fashion - one they can learn quickly.
In this story the author takes the children on a field trip to a Young People's Concert. You may think like some reviewers that this makes no sense . . . BUT . . . Moses and the other students "hear" the musical sounds through vibrations. A friend of the teacher is the percussionist & it doesn't take long before Moses is convinced he wants to become a percussionist when he grows up.
Reviewer mcHAIKU is also convinced - - that these are wonderfully creative books that kids will wholeheartedly respond to - - and adults will also claim totally brilliant. PASS THE WORD ALONG !
 hearing view of the deaf/hard-of-hearing world December 22, 2002
1 out of 5 found this review helpful
Since this book was not written by a hard of hearing person, it does not give an appropriate view of the hard of hearing world. This book could not apply to deaf people becasue deaf people cannot hear music -- only feel the vibrations. The book gives a clear view of how hearing people view the heard of hearing world. It is a beginning, but it is not the best book.
Breaking the "Sound Barrier" October 25, 2000

As a music teacher I was really excited to find this book. It combinds two seperate worlds into one. Sometimes deaf or hard-of-hearing students never get to experience the world of music, but this book is GREAT at introducing them to music and a famous, deaf, musician. I really like this book and would recomended it to any teacher to help implement music in their deaf ed. class.
"Moses Goes to a Concert" fascinates 1st and 2nd Graders June 2, 2000
6 out of 6 found this review helpful
My children loved this book. They have just started to read independently, and I enjoy watching them read and watching their hands move as they easily follow the drawings for signed words. They are fascinated with it, and I think the motion as well as reading makes it even more enjoyable. The story is entertaining, and the use of a balloon or stocking feet to feel sound vibrations is very clever. We are not part of the deaf community, but books like this one will help to build a positive attitude in my children toward the deaf community.
