The author/illustrator for the highly successful Getting to Know the World's Greatest Artists series lends his creative talents to another fun, informative series, this one featuring world famous composers. Venezia's clever mix of full-color photos, his own tongue-in-cheek cartoonlike illustrations, and factual biographical information presents each composer as they really were, along with the forces that inspired their world-renowned music.
At four years old, Mozart learned to play the violin and when he was six, he wrote his first concerto.
A biography of the child prodigy who wrote more than 800 pieces of music before his untimely death at thirty-five.

July 07, 2002: This book is a good book, but if you are somebody who wants something that a person between the ages of 11 and older, try another book. One thing that adds some comedy to the book, are the comics that Mr.Venezia puts in here and there. To shorten what I'm saying: If you are a music teacher that teaches little kids, read this book to them.
