La colección Música de concierto, publicada por Océano Travesía, está formada por atractivos libros-disco que permiten una aproximación divertida, accesible y didáctica a lo mejor de la música universal. Cada volumen de esta original serie está relacionado con un tema distinto. Así, los tres primeros reúnen piezas sobre las aves, los seres fantásticos y el agua, respectivamente. Este cuarto libro versa sobre los bichos y, de manera específica, sobre las distintas composiciones que estos pequeños seres han inspirado a lo largo del tiempo. Desfilan por estas páginas moscas, pulgas, avispas, ranas, arañas, grillos, hormigas y mariposas, entre otros. Todos ellos imaginados y recreados musicalmente por compositores como: Rimsky-Kórsakov, Haendel, Béla Bartók, Ravel, Telemann, Haydn, Prokófiev y Revueltas.
