Young Mozart by Rachel Isadora is our first Non-Fiction Monday book!
For ages K-4th grade!
Here is an excerpt from the School Library Journal: "Isadora's soft-edged watercolors are a perfect fit for this story of the boy prodigy; they capture the elegant detail of the rococo period in central Europe while emphasizing the emotion of romanticism. The narrative begins with Mozart as a toddler, crying when his music went awry, and performing before the court as the legendary seven year old..."
We're excited about this one today and will no doubt be listening to some of his great works as well! Please visit here for other Non-Fiction Monday books! Have a great day with your kids!
Just now ordered it at the library. I will try and post a non-fiction book next week. That was a nice round up of books listed on the other blog. Thanks.
