This book is a charming introduction to Mozart for young children. My children have learned a little bit about him in their piano lessons and this was a nice complement. I especially liked that his sister (who as an accomplished performer and, later, instructor) was the narrator. The illustrations are sweet. Highly recommended for 5 or 6 years old + with an interest in Mozart.

Yay for fun books to imprint lives of great composers on small children.

Like the title says, this book is small snippets from Mozart's life as a child.

This book I liked more than I thought I would. It was a cute little book, that helped explain Mozart’s childhood and road to composing.

This is a darling little book about Mozart that is written from the prospective of Nannerl, Mozart's sister. The illustrations are terrific and since it is written in the eyes of a child, the content is extremely personable and engaging to young readers. This is a great addition to a collection on Mozart books, although it just offers a tiny glimpse into who Mozart was.
