Purchase options and add-ons
The author will be donating all US royalties due to him to support music education for children worldwide, through the New Hampshire Charitable foundation.
Travel through the trees and across the seas with Maestro Mouse and his musical friends! Young readers will meet a big blue whale and speedy cheetahs, tiny beetles and graceful swans. Each has a special secret to share.
Along the way, you might spot the surprises Maestro Mouse has left for you- a hiding buzzy bee, jumbled letters that spell out clues, and even a coded message to solve!
Children and adults can enjoy this timeless picture book as a traditional read-along, or can choose to listen to original musical compositions as they read--one for each animal--with a free interactive smartphone app, which uses augmented reality to play the appropriate song for each page when a phone's camera is held over it.

Meet Maestro Mouse and his musical friends!
Don’t miss the WILD SYMPHONY album, with music composed by Dan Brown himself!
Includes a free app for a true multisensory experience!

A Note from Author Dan Brown
Long before I wrote stories, I wrote music.
My parents were both musicians and teachers, and I grew up practicing classical piano, singing in choirs, and attending LOTS of concerts. Music was a secret sanctuary for me as a child. It calmed me when I felt frustrated, was a trusted friend when I felt lonely, helped me express my joy when I was happy, and, best of all, sparked my creativity and imagination.
Music is a kind of storytelling, and the orchestral movements in Wild Symphony—combined with their accompanying poems and illustrations—all work together (like a code, of sorts!) to tell a story and reveal a funny or interesting side of an animal’s personality. If you listen carefully, you might be able to find each animal hiding in the music.
I hope you have as much fun experiencing Wild Symphony as I had creating it.

About the authors
Dan Brown is the author of eight #1 bestselling novels, including The Da Vinci Code, which has become one of the bestselling novels of all time as well as the subject of intellectual debate among readers and scholars. Brown’s novels are published in 56 languages around the world with over 250 million copies in print.
Brown was named one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World by TIME Magazine, whose editors credited him with “keeping the publishing industry afloat; renewed interest in Leonardo da Vinci and early Christian history; spiking tourism to Paris and Rome; a growing membership in secret societies; the ire of Cardinals in Rome; eight books denying the claims of the novel and seven guides to read along with it; a flood of historical thrillers; and a major motion picture franchise.”
The son of a mathematics teacher and a church organist, Brown was raised on a prep school campus where he developed a fascination with the paradoxical interplay between science and religion. These themes eventually formed the backdrop for his books. He is a graduate of Amherst College and Phillips Exeter Academy, where he later returned to teach English before focusing his attention full time to writing. He lives in New England.

- Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2024Thank you Dan Brown for this incredible work of art on so many levels! From the hidden anagrams to the poetry and addicting music composed to go along with it, this entire work is a true gift. This book has been a deep source of enjoyment and we have used it in so many fun ways. It inspired us to paint our own wild symphony to keep at home and we went and saw our local symphony perform the music live. Have not come across a kid who has not enjoyed this. I highly recommend this for children and adults of all ages. This is a wonderful education in positivity, music, poetry and artwork. Love!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 19, 2024This is a beautiful book and a cute concept. Being a senior it took me a minute to get the hang of installing the app that goes with this book for the music and then how to hover my phone over the page to get the music to start to play. But even for a non-tech person like me it was 5 minutes tops and I was listening to all the beautiful music. Very good concept to interest toddlers in symphonies. The illustrations are very good, zany and happy animals, bright colors, interesting to children. Well worth the price for a gift for my grandson.
- Reviewed in the United States on December 18, 2023Dan Brown has created a unique book that presents his poetry and music so that a reader may interact by linking to the specific music while reading the descriptive poem. This book's presentation is an interesting , entertaining and overall, a most enjoyable creation. A great gift .
- Reviewed in the United States on November 25, 2020Incredibly illustrated with gorgeous color pictures AND with sound! A QR code enables an app on your phone, and from then on, whenever you swipe your phone over a page, the corresponding orchestral music plays. And it's terrific music, along the lines of A Young Persons Guide to the Orchestra, but less stuffy, more memorable, and more timely. The text is in clever rhymes, that my grandchildren now repeat along as I read it, since the rhymes make it easy to memorize. And to top it all off, it was written by Da Vinci Code author Dan Brown, so the pages are filled with codes and secrets, that are fun for children and adults alike to solve. This should be a must gift this holiday season, for anyone with children to buy for. Can't recommend it more highly - delightfully surprised!
- Reviewed in the United States on February 4, 2024This book is fun and educational! It has a lot of detail in it and I love the first page that lists all the instruments. My toddler loves naming them all. Would recommend to anyone who loves a good musical education book!

- Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2024I'm a retired music teacher and I bought the book for one of my grand children, not knowing that there was an accompanying app with all of Dan Brown's orchestrated music to go with the book. We discovered the app on Christmas and the book with accompanying pieces became an obsession with my grandson. The music is stunning; it feels a bit like Aaron Copland. We ended up buying 2 more books for the other grandkids and they all loved it!!
I love Dan Brown's books, but his compositions about the animals, including beautiful morals on each page are just outstanding!!!
Write more children's books!! You are just incredible!!
- Reviewed in the United States on May 28, 2024This book is beautiful, both it's message and it's artwork. However, Amazon needs to get their packaging policies in order. This gorgeous paperback came *folded in half* and shoved in a too-small bubble mailer. It, of course, is now creased down the center and could never be given as a gift. Is this how we treat books now?

- Reviewed in the United States on October 29, 2024I've bought this as a gift for multiple friends who have young children. It's great as a stand alone hard copy book, but there are QR codes that allow for an additional layer of interaction. Great way to teach kids about classical instruments!

The pictures are gracious, with short histories. Also, each page brings a nice and educative message. The book also has a link for an app in which we can listen musics that follow each page.
Adorable!
