Getting to Know the World's Greatest Composers series combines a delightful mix of full-color historical reproductions, photos, and hilarious cartoon-style illustrations that bring to life the works of renowned composers, combining poignant anecdotes with important factual information for readers (Ages 8-9).
This biography followed the life of Igor Stravinsky, a famous classical composer in the 19th and 20th century. Even though the book was quite short, you can learn many things about Stravinsky. This is a thirty-minute read, so I definitely recommend this book to everyone.
As far as biographies for the young reader goes, it doesn't get any better than this. They are a great length and packed full of pertinent information. I would enjoy having this series in my personal library.
