Why read it?
1 author picked Mussorgsky's Pictures at an Exhibition as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
In the Once Upon a Masterpiece series, author Anna Harwell Celenza tells the stories behind various classical music masterpieces. She does so in an engaging way for children ages 6-9. I love how she is a musicologist and uses documented evidence to tell the story behind the piece. The illustrations incorporate folk art and symbols from the composer’s country. The author includes multiple links so that readers can listen to each masterpiece.
From Jonathan's list on children’s books on classical music.
