5.0 out of 5 stars nice introduction to the classics
Reviewed in the United States on April 21, 2011

The publisher and writer of this series publishes books on artists and inportant historical figures. We originally borrowed some from our local library, and really enjoyed the serious, yet entertaining way in which otherwise heavily intellectual information was explained to very young readers. My 6 year old cellist opened the package a couple of days ago, and has carried this book on Bach around with her since. She is playing a minuet by this composer at the moment. It was such a great treat for her to find out so much about the life of a composer who lived so long ago. I also borrowed from the library several dvds to go along with the art and history books from this series. I hope that similar dvds are available about each composer in the series. What a great way to empower little minds! If you are looking for a non-intimidating, friendly way to introduce 6-10 year olds (and even older) to classical composers, please buy this series.

Reviewed in the United States on February 26, 2018

I like to give my piano students some books on composers so they learn a little more about their life and times. I only have this one, but I think the information is quite good. Some of the cartoons are a bit corny but I think the children enjoyed them. The information seems to be very good. I do wish the author were more at ease to tell that J. S. Bach signed his works "soli deo gloria" for the glory of God. The book does tell of his spiritual faith, but I wish that phase was made more public.

My kids are ages 2-8 and they all love the cute comics in these composer books. Sometimes I have to summarize a page because it’s over their head, but they’re learning and enjoying it 👍 They often sit down on their own and look through these books

I use these books in our homeschooling journey. The books are simple and fun to read, so kids and adults can learn from them. We have a lot of the World's Greatest Composers books, and the World's Greatest Artists books are quite wonderful as well.

I am a homeschooling mother of two and is constantly looking for educational material. This is a great book, the illustrations are funny and kids love the humorous bits and pieces. The information is presented in a very effective manner. I started my children very early on with music theory and can honestly say that all the books in the series serve as a great introduction to this field especially for younger children (age 4 onward)

I used this book as part of our homeschool study of composers. My children loved the illustrations. I believe the lighthearted illustrations helped them remember the facts written about his life.
