I bought this book for my Mozart collection.It is a very good little book, it is for the younger ones so they can get to know Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart. The book contains a nicely detailed biography about the big musical genius. It is easily worded, so a younger child can also understand it. It also contains very nice illustrations in black and white, I think the illustrator got inspirations about Amadeus, because the characters look like the actors in the movie Amadeus. They are very beautiful. Special thanks for the list of his more famous works on one of the last pages with Köchel number too. All in all I think it is a very good book for young children to get to know a big master of the classical music better, I would recommend it asa first book about Mozart, or a part of a collection.
This is a children's book and I found it very nicely done and it should hold their interest and perhaps inspire a child to play an instrument.
