Tongue-in-cheek humor and whimsical illustrations let children
see composers as real people. Each book traces the life of a
composer, with entertaining childhood anecdotes. The series
spans over two hundred years of music history, from Mozart and
Beethoven to Gershwin and the Beatles. Of course, listening to
the music is essential; recordings by all the composers in the
series are readily available at your local music store.
